Better performance and impressive speeds.
With Fibre to the Premises broadband, pure fibre optic cables connect you straight to the exchange.
How we connect with you
There are three ways we connect you to our broadband network
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.
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.
FTTP
The future is Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), where pure fibre optic cables connect you straight to the exchange.
