You might be thinking “internet is internet, right?”. When it comes to full-fibre broadband, there’s just no comparison when it comes to speed and reliability. Full-fibre (also known as Fibre-to-the-Premises or FTTP) makes sure that your internet is always running smoothly – so no more annoying buffering, lagging, or time wasted on re-starting your router!
Why is my current broadband slow?
Imagine being stuck in a time-warp where you’re still relying on the sluggish speed of a 90s dial-up connection. That's what you're dealing with if you're still using part-fibre broadband. The copper cabling that these both use is pretty ancient, and it’s part of why you’re not getting the speeds as advertised by your provider.
Believe it or not, copper networks have been around in the UK since the mid 70’s and the same technology is being used today by many part-fibre providers! In essence, it means that aging technology, bad weather and even the distance from your home to the green cabinet on your street could be affecting the quality of your connection. In other words, the neighbours living closest to the street cabinet are probably getting faster internet speeds than you.
With full-fibre broadband, your fibre-optic cables run straight into your home, meaning you don’t lose speeds over old copper technology and don’t have to share your connectivity with the whole street. Fibre-optic cabling is the game-changer that takes your internet from being 'alright’ to being pretty unstoppable. It uses light to transmit data, so your Lit Fibre broadband travels at light speed (literally).
“Since the service has been installed it has changed our view of internet connections! It's fast – I mean FAST!!! 500Mb/s is what we pay for and 500Mb/s is what we get - sometimes even a little bit more.”
- Martin, Lit Fibre Customer, Trust Pilot
