Fibre to the Cabinet - The Next Generation in Connectivity

Fibre To The Cabinet or FTTC as it is more commonly known is the next step up in Internet connectivity from standard copper line based broadband.
Providing download speeds of up to 40Mbps and upload speeds of up to 10Mbps, it really is for those organisations that need significant speed increases above Broadband, but without the costs of a Leased Line.

FTTC is currently being rolled out around the UK and at present about 20% of UK exchanges have been enabled, so please use our connectivity checker or speak to your account manager to see if you are able to take advantage of this new technology or when your exchange is likely to be enabled.

FTTC - The NEXT generation

Unlike standard broadband services, FTTC comes fitted by a BT Openreach engineer who will install a new faceplate for the FTTC and a NTE device. This needs to be plugged into your router or firewall product such as the Vigor 2830 range will work absolutely fine or speak to your account manager if you are not sure.

  • Download speed of up to 40Mbps
  • Upload speeds of up to 10Mbps
  • Unrestricted use, no port or service blocking

A whole new world of possibilities

With FTTC's very high download & UPLOAD speeds, possibilities such as true cloud based solutions and Voice Over IP (VoIP) at last become a reality.

Not yet for everyone!

Unfortunately, as with most new technologies, availability is not yet wide spread. Approximately 20% of UK mainland telephone exchanges have been upgraded to deliver FTTC, however not all "green cabinets" in exchange areas have yet been readied for the new technology. So if you think FTTC is for you or for more information contact our sales team or your account manager and they will let you know if/when you can upgrade.
