If you’re thinking about upgrading to fibre to the premises, we’ve got you covered! Our comprehensive guide will give you all the information you need to make an informed decision.
Discover what full-fibre broadband is and how it works, and learn about the importance of having a router for Wi-Fi functionality. We’ll also help you determine whether this technology is the right fit for you by offering an instant quote on our fibre broadband deals.
It is, in essence a broadband connection utilising fibre instead of copper infrastructure with the ability for super fast speeds and more reliabilty than traditional broadband.
FTTP stands for Fibre to the premises and is a type of fibre optic broadband that delivers fast, reliable speed by connecting your premises directly to the network with an optical fibre cable.
This connection runs from the exchange to your business. We are including BT as our supplier (but not Virgin Media yet) making it one of the most future-proof and reliable types of broadband available.
It is the fastest type of broadband around and can provide speeds of up to 1Gbps (1000Mbps). This means that you can download files, stream videos, etc, at extremely high speeds.
The broadband speeds you can get will depend on several factors, including the distance from the local exchange, the quality of the line, and the package you choose.
SoGEA has speed that can achieve up to 80Mb download whereas FTTP can achieve much greater speeds ranging up to 1Gb. SoGEA is more readily available though.
Fibre to the premises is a complete fibre connection which comes from the exchange and runs all the way to your businsess or residential premises.
It’s not available in as many locations (yet) as what SoGEA is but the rollout of pure fibre connectivity is in full swing so it wont be long before you will have the option of both.
SoGEA does not have the speed that FTTP broadband does with the ability to get speed upto 1Gb compared to up to 330Mb with SoGFAST. SoGEA is a cost effective broadband solution but if you are in need of more power then (if it’s available) FTTP would win.
Both are easy to install as well as been cost effective. They come with the option of using your own router or we can supply one. Both are easy to fix. Also, instead of using a copper phone line for calls, you can now use VoIP (voice over internet protocol).
FTTC runs on old tradional copper line which will become obsolete by 2027 due to the “Big Switch Off”. FTTP is it’s “Big Brother” with full fibre and faster speed!
FTTC uses fibre-optic cables from the broadband exchange to a green street cabinet. The vast majority use Fibre to the Cabinet broadband, with FTTC connections available to a high percentage of businesses in the UK but this product will be extinct in 2027.
The rest of the Fibre to the cabinet connection then relies on the same copper wires as ADSL, making it faster than a purely copper line connection, but still slower than ‘full fibre‘, or fibre-to-the-premises broadband.
It’s better to have FTTP than FTTC. This is the general opinion because it’s a newer technology than FTTC, and as such it offers several advantages.
For example, it’s faster than FTTC broadband, with speeds of up to 1Gbps (1000Mbps) compared to FTTC’s maximum speed of 76Mbps. Still, choosing between both options can depend on your needs and requirements.
Right now it’s being installed around the country. If it’s available where you live, you’ll see the speed options appear. Simply follow the instructions below.

No, copper is not used. Instead, it uses fibre optic cables – which are made of glass or plastic. Copper network (ADSL) basic broadband access uses a copper phone line connected to the exchange. Fibre broadband is much faster than copper cables and can carry data over long distances without losing speed.
Yes, it’s is superior to ADSL broadband. This is because it offers significantly faster speeds than ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line), as well as a more consistent and secure connection. Additionally, it does not require a physical phone line to function, whereas an ADSL connection does.
The largest network in the UK is the Openreach network, which they have plans to keep increasing. They aim to make itavailable to 85% of UK premises by the end of 2025.

If you use the internet for activities that require fast speeds and low latency, such as online gaming, video conferencing, or streaming high-quality video content, then FTTP may be worth the investment.
