Got Questions? You can find some of most frequently asked questions here
What is FTTC Internet?
FTTC uses a fibre optic connection between your local exchange and the green street cabinet. Then conventional copper cabling, used in standard broadband connects your premises to the nearest street cabinet.
Because fibre optic infrastructure makes up the majority of the connection, FTTC Internet provides much higher speeds than conventional all copper connections.
How does it work?
Unlike traditional broadband lines, which were repackaged telephone lines, fibre optic cables have been purposely built for broadband with information being transmitted as flashes of light. With light travelling so quickly, there is less chance of interference. This means that a fibre optic internet connection is much more likely to achieve advertised speeds than traditional broadband.
Who needs it?
Anyone requiring a fast Internet connection and ideally suited for remote home working environments and small offices.
What speeds are available?
Downloads speeds reaching up to 80Mbps are possible, but are based on the length of your phone line to the cabinet. You are not guaranteed to receive the maximum speed and upgrading from the FTTC 40 to the FTTC 80 product will not guarantee any speed improvement.
How reliable is it?
FTTC uses a much shorter copper line than standard ADSL broadband making it more reliable. The speed of which data travels over fibre infrastructure significantly reduces the chance of interference, allowing for a more reliable service.
What is the SOGEA Option?
SOGEA is FTTC without the physical telephone line. By removing the telephone line, you increase the reliability of your Internet service and no longer need to pay for a separate telephone line. See our blog for further information.
