The future is Full Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), where pure fibre optic cables connect you straight to the exchange to your front door.
FTTC
If you’ve got a fibre package from your Communications Provider today, it’s likely you’re connected via FTTC. Fibre to the Cabinet increases basic broadband speeds by connecting powerful fibre optic cable to the cabinet, then copper wires to your home or business.
Copper network (ADSL)
Basic broadband access uses a copper phone line connected to the exchange. Check with a communications provider if you can upgrade to FTTC / FTTP.
