Our most reliable connection

Ultrafast Full fibre runs a fibre optic cable straight from our exchange to your door, meaning it won't let you down - so no more buffering or drop outs.

Digital, Analogue or no phone line

We'll be switching off the ability to buy a traditional (or PSTN) phone line in September 2023. You can also choose not to order a phone line with this service (called Single order GFast or SoGFast). We recommend taking a digital phone line that plugs straight into your broadband to make calls.

It's Superfast, but turbo-charged

GFast uses the same Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) technology as Superfast, but we turbo charge the connection between the cabinet and your property to give even higher speeds. Because of this, we can usually only offer GFast broadband to homes and businesses that are close to their exchange.

You might also hear GFast broadband called VDSL2 and sometimes Ultrafast broadband as it offer speeds over 300 Mbps.

We recommend taking a digital phone line that plugs straight into your broadband to make calls.

Superfast broadband uses Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) technology

This means that we'll run a Fibre line from your exchange to your nearest cabinet. We then run broadband over the traditional copper wire from the cabinet to your home or business. This means that the further away from you are from your local cabinet, the slower your broadband speed is likely to be.

You might also hear Superfast broadband called Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC), or VDSL.

More Standard broadband features

max 1.4Mbps upload speed

You'll be able to send that 2GB file in 3.2 hours.

Analogue phone line

As part of our upgrade to phone lines across the UK, in 2022 we'll be launching the ability to take Standard broadband with a digital phone or no phone line at all with our Single Order Transitional Access Product (SoTAP).

Broadband over your phone line

We use the phone line from the exchange to your home or business to run broadband. The further you are from the exchange, the longer your phone line, which normally means a slower speed.

You might also hear Standard broadband called Asymmetric Digital Subscriber line (ADSL).
