Hola mate..

Ethernet:

The Ethernet standard has been around for quite some time now. It was first developed by Xerox in the 1970s, and was introduced commercially in 1980. Ethernet uses copper cables to deliver data, and it has a reputation of being a lot slower than fiber optic cables. That has, however, changed a little over the years. There was a time when Ethernet speed had a 10Mbps limit. Now, however, “fast Ethernet” offers speeds of up to 100Mbps, while Gigabit Ethernet can deliver speeds of a hefty 1000Mbps. Currently, Cat 6 Ethernet cables can carry up to a massive 10Gbps.

Fiber:

Fiber optic cables may be more recently used for home internet, but the principles behind fiber optic cables date back over 100 years. The principle was even used for television cameras that were used by NASA on the moon in 1969. These days, fiber optic cables are often used for extremely high speed data transfer, and for transferring data over long distances.

Hope this helps u dude ✌
