Singlemode fiber, which provides higher bandwidth over longer distance, supports only single mode transmission of light. While the multimode fiber, which has lower bandwidth, supports multiple modes of light transmission due to its large core diameter. Generally, multimode fibers are used for LAN connectivity or the applications where distances are smaller.
