Full Fibre (FTTP) and Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) both offer broadband, but they work differently, and FTTP delivers clear advantages:
Speed and Performance #
- FTTP: Fibre runs directly to your home, delivering faster and more consistent speeds. It’s capable of handling speeds of up to 1 Gbps or more.
- FTTC: Fibre only runs to the cabinet in your area, with older copper cables carrying the signal to your home. This limits speeds, especially over longer distances.
Reliability #
- FTTP: Full fibre is less affected by weather or electrical interference. It provides a more stable connection for everyday use, streaming, and gaming.
- FTTC: Copper cables degrade over time and are more prone to interference, which can cause drops in performance.
Future-Proof Technology #
- FTTP: Built to handle the growing demand for data, it’s ready for the future of ultra-fast internet.
- FTTC: Limited by the ageing copper network, it may struggle as internet demands increase.
Latency #
- FTTP: Lower latency means smoother video calls, quicker responses in online gaming, and better performance for smart devices.
- FTTC: Higher latency due to the copper connection can lead to delays and lag.
Full Fibre ensures you’re getting the best connection available today. It’s faster, more reliable, and ready to support whatever comes next.
