Fibre to the premises (FTTP) uses fibre optic cables connected directly from the exchange into your home for rock solid connections
Delivers speeds of up to 1,000Mb – which could be up to 30x faster than standard fibre
Your current provider probably delivers their ‘fibre’ broadband using fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) – this uses analogue copper phone cables from the green cabinet in your street to your home, with speed and reliability greatly reduced once it reaches the copper cables
Not built for modern needs or modern homes – speeds are slower, with no symmetry between downloads and uploads
The speed you actually get depends on where you live
