But is is a silly argument. Do you care what the truck or the plane look like when you get a package delivered? All you care about is if you get the service that you paid for. Meaningful info about the networks would be the bandwidth and latency across their network, or the usage levels. But that would make for very boring commercials.
Speed of light through fiber != speed through a vacuum
In point of fact, the speed of light through a fiber is slower, about 70%, of the speed of electricity through copper. However, light through fiber offers more bandwidth with our current tech. Don't confuse latency and bandwidth. Latency is the time it take for your bit to get from point A to point B. Bandwidth is the number of bits that can travel in a specified amount of time.
