There are three types of technology we might use to bring broadband to your premises, using either fibre optic cables, copper wire, or a combination of both. Learn more about them right here.
Full fibre
With this type of technology, fibre optic cable is used to deliver your broadband service to your premises.
This means you’ll receive a reliable service with minimal interruptions and faster speeds.
Part fibre
With part fibre, fibre optic cable is used to bring your broadband service to your local street cabinet. The final journey from there to your premises is delivered over a copper wire.
With part fibre, the speeds you receive may be reduced the further away your premises are from the exchange box.
Copper
With this type of technology, copper wire is used to deliver your broadband service all the way to your premises.
The longer the length of the copper line to your premises, the more your speeds may be reduced.
