Fiber Optic is merely a different way to deliver internet to your home. You can get internet through satellite or a cable company or like I do from a tower broadcasting a WIFi signal. You can also get internet through 5G or cell phone frequency. Remember when we used to get our internet through the phone with all it beeping and buzzing! Fiber optic is probably the best quality internet you can get. I'd kill for it out here in the country! They lay the fiber optic cables along the street and then run the connections to your house. Your computer doesn't care WHERE you get your internet is the good news!

As Fogfighter says, you should be able to use your ethernet cable just like you do now. And if you want to go WiFi and your current computer does not have a WiFi adapter, you can just buy a USB adapter and plug it in. The adapter I built into this computer stopped working, so I got a USB adapter for about $50 and have been using it for a couple of years now.
Yup, fiber optic is the gold standard right now. I'd love to have it out here!
