Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC)

The rollout of the UK fibre optic network means that more businesses and schools can benefit from much higher speed internet connections. Which is why so many are choosing to replace their ADSL services with FTTC connections.

Like ADSL, the FTTC network uses standard PSTN lines to make the final connection to your premises. While speeds are not as distance dependent as ADSL services, there can be some speed degradation depending on your distance from the green box in your street (Primary Connection Point).

Small but important

The distance of your premises from the local telephone exchange will affect the ‘up to’ connection speed.

You can check your current speed using speedtest.net. To get the most accurate reading, make sure the device you run the test from is connected directly to your internet router and that nothing else is on the network.

* Free install on 2-year terms. GEA is a 3-year term. If you require a one-year term, you’ll need to pay the install costs of an analogue line and router.
