Fibre Optic Broadband

What is Fibre Optic Broadband?

Arguably considered to be the future of UK broadband, Fibre Optic broadband provides advanced high-speed performance to end users, in selected parts of the country...

Fibre optic broadband differs to Digital Subsriber Line (DSL) broadband as traffic is delivered through underground fibre optic cables rather than copper telephone wire. This means that where regular DSL broadband speeds may suffer the further away you move from the local telephone exchange, fibre optic broadband speeds stay constant, wherever the line covers.

Fibre optic broadband is capable of faster, more reliable speeds because of the optical fibres, themselves. Optical fibres are made of glass, allowing large amounts of data to pass through at the speed of light, allowing for download speeds of up to 40Mbps - double the top speeds of many DSL Broadband lines.

The benefits of Fibre Optic Broadband...

• Lightening Fast - Downstream speeds of up to 40Mbps, double that of most DSL lines.

• Superior Upload Speeds - Up to 10Mbps upload speed, so you can easily hold your own online services.

• Ultra Reliable - Consistant speeds maintained, regardless of how far you are from the end of the line.

• Affordable - Will not cost the world, with many plans costing little more than standard DSL services.
