Yes, I always use the ISP with the freshest fiber even if it's double the price.

No. Aged fiber is better because after a while they settle in the ground and the light has solid, proven paths. Fresh fiber is subject to forces from the dirt settling and tubes bending. You never know if fresh fiber will survive or not, while older fiber is proven.

I get my fiber weekly from the local fiber butcher. If you can, get fiber on the spool, fresh crimped for you.

I've been on fiber-to-the-home internet since 2016 and I haven't noticed any degradation in quality over time.

If you're serious about fiber, you would grow your own at home. Much fresher and way higher speeds, the market variety just can't compare

I caught a fiber the other day and served it to my wife.
Very fresh

Yes it's better

After a while old fiber bends due to compression of dirt making the light have more resistance to find a clear path

I prefer mine to be a bit moldy just like my cheese.

Make sure to air your fiber otherwise it goes bad.
