By next year, rural parts of the UK will struggle with slower broadband speeds than the moon. That’s not an exaggeration! (2023).
Luckily for you, we’re committed to building full fibre networks across the UK, not up in space. But what exactly is full fibre? You’ve come to the right place! Here’s why you should be jumping onto the latest broadband bandwagon.
Out with the old broadband, in with the new
You might not have heard of the public switched telephone network (PSTN), but it’s been part of your day-to-day life for decades!
PSTN is the traditional telephone network. Also referred to as the analogue network (or in this case, the old network), PSTN is made up of underground copper cables. This infrastructure is responsible for keeping your landline and broadband running (albeit slowly), connecting you to the rest of the world’s telecommunications network.
Designed before the world wide web, it’s no wonder the PSTN is struggling to keep up with our tech and digital needs in 2023! Its copper cables are no match for our need for speed. Learning and working from home, streaming, booking and attending appointments online, downloading files, gaming, shopping and even planning holidays rely on stable, speedy broadband.
That’s where full fibre (the new) comes in.
Full fibre broadband networks, also known as FTTP (Fibre-to-the-premise), provide homes and businesses with a reliable connection to the digital world.
Fibre optic cables can deliver high-speed data over greater distances, transmitted using pulses of light! You can’t get faster than that. This helpful diagram explains the difference between the two networks!
What can I do with full fibre broadband?
The sky’s the limit! Full fibre broadband will give you internet speeds up to 40 times faster and provide you with the reliability and bandwidth you need to have multiple devices connected simultaneously. Giving you back time to enjoy the things you love.
You can say goodbye to slow broadband-related headaches and hello to surfing, shopping, or studying with ease! With a fast, reliable connection, you’ll also finally be able to enjoy the streaming services you may be already paying for!
Get full fibre-d up! You deserve great broadband
