Full fibre, also known as fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) orfibre-optic broadband, refers to a type of internet connection that uses optical fibres made of glass or plastic to transmit data at incredibly highspeeds.
Unlike traditional broadband connections, which rely on copper cables, full fibre connections use thin strands of fibre-optic cables to deliver faster and more reliable internet access.
In a full fibre network, the entire connection, from the internet service provider (ISP) to your home or office, is built using fibre-optic cables. These cables are capable of carrying vast amounts of data using pulses of light. The speed and reliability of full fibre make it capable of delivering ultrafast broadband, supporting activities such as high-definition videostreaming, online gaming, and large file downloads with minimal latency or lag.
Compared to older technologies like Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) or cable broadband, full fibre offers significantly higher speeds and has the potential for virtually unlimited bandwidth. It also provides symmetrical upload and download speeds, which means that uploading data is just as fast as downloading it. This is particularly beneficial for activities like video conferencing, cloud computing, and sending large files.
Internet Speeds
