FTTC broadband uses fibre optic cable from the exchange to your local street cabinet, then existing copper wiring to your property. It offers a significant speed boost over standard ADSL, with download speeds up to 80Mbps and upload speeds up to 20Mbps.
Fibre optic cable runs from the telephone exchange to the green cabinet on your street. From there, the existing copper phone line carries the signal into your property. While speeds depend on the distance between your property and the cabinet, most customers achieve excellent performance.
We provide a pre-configured router and all the connection settings you need. If you prefer to use your own equipment (such as a MikroTik or FireBrick), we're happy to provide the PPPoE credentials.
FTTC is ideal if full fibre (FTTP) isn't available at your address yet. Check your postcode using our coverage checker to see what's available.
