Full Fibre broadband is typically called FTTP (Fibre to the Premises). This means that fibre optic cables run directly from our broadband network into your home. No detours, no stops—just a straight shot of pure, high-speed internet.
How is ‘Full Fibre’ Different from Other Fibre?
Glad you asked! Not all fibre is created equal. Here’s the lowdown:
-
FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet)
FTTC is the most common type of fibre broadband. With this setup, fibre optic cables run to a street cabinet, and from there, old copper wires take over to connect to your home. The copper bit can slow things down and affect reliability.
-
FTTP (Fibre to the Premises)
This is the crème de la crème of broadband. With FTTP, there’s no copper involved—just pure fibre optic cables all the way to your doorstep. This means consistently faster speeds and a more reliable connection, no matter how far you are from the street cabinet.
Why Should You Care About the Difference?
Speed and reliability, plain and simple. FTTP can handle higher speeds than FTTC, making it perfect for busy households with lots of devices. Whether you're streaming in 4K, video calling, or downloading large files, FTTP keeps everything running smoothly.
