i just dont under stand why fiber optics isnt offering faster speeds....
A single fiber strand offers up to 10Gb on our current technology. The speed limit is caused by the fiber transceivers, so todays 10Gb fiber can likely do 100Gb or more.
Also, you can trunk fibers together to get massive speeds, for example on some high end switches you could do a 40Gb fiber (ethernet) trunk (100Gb non trunked ethernet is just around the corner though). You can also do 40Gb SONET lines as well.
