What is Full Fibre Broadband?

Full fibre broadband, also known as Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), is a high-speed internet connection that uses fibre optic cables from the local internet exchange to connect directly to your home or business.

What are the Benefits of Full Fibre Broadband?

- Faster Speed: Full fibre broadband offers much faster speeds compared to traditional copper connections. It provides a lightning-fast internet connection with greater bandwidth, enabling quicker downloads, smoother streaming, and more reliable connections for multiple devices.

- Greater Reliability: Full fibre optic cables are much more resilient to extreme weather and signal interference, ensuring a more stable and dependable internet connection. 

- Future-Proof Technology: Unlike copper, full fibre is built for long-term needs. It is capable of handling 21st century technology, and most importantly, it will not be impacted by the impending PSTN switch-off. 

- Reduce Your Carbon Footprint: Full fibre broadband uses less energy than copper connections, making it a more sustainable choice. 

- Increase Property Value: A full fibre connection is increasingly viewed as essential, adding appeal to your home if you ever decide to sell.

What is Part Fibre Broadband?

Part fibre broadband, also referred to as Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC), uses fibre optic cables from the exchange to a street cabinet, but the connection from the cabinet to your property still relies on traditional copper wires.

Key Limitations of a Part Fibre Connection:

- Slower Speeds: Copper wires slow down the connection, with maximum speeds often limited to around 80 Mbps.

- Less Reliable: Copper is more susceptible to interference, resulting in potential speed fluctuations and interruptions.

- Outdated Technology: While still widely used, part fibre networks are gradually being replaced by full fibre to meet modern connectivity demands.

- PSTN Switch-Off Impact: Copper lines will be significantly affected by the upcoming Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) switch-off, as traditional landline services and copper-based broadband connections will no longer be supported. This means that homes and businesses relying on copper for their phone and internet services will need to upgrade to full fibre or alternative technologies to stay connected.
