>oh, fiber materials may be sand

what does sand means in this context please ?

[hervature]

Fiber optics cables are made of glass whose primary constituent is silicon dioxide and/or quartz which are the primary constituents of sand.

And therefore should be cheap in a naive estimate

[jaredhallen]

To be fair, fiber cable itself is actually pretty cheap in the scheme of things. It's the installation and termination that account for the bulk of the cost
