Once the fibre cable reaches the cabinet, it meets the copper wire that connects to your home or business. The reason so many homes and businesses opt for FTTC is purely economical. To install the fibre optic cable directly to your building, a lot of digging and infrastructure implementation might be needed.
The copper wires offer a cheap way to get fast internet into your premises at a lower cost. DLM is an automated system that helps monitor and manage quality and connection speed. Instead of taking the cheaper copper substitute from the street cabinet to your office, FTTP uses optical fibre all the way.
The result is a significantly faster connection and reliability compared to its close cousin. While the costs can be prohibitive for homeowners in which case it is often called Fiber to the Home - FTTH , it can make good business sense for many work environments. With more businesses are relying on cloud infrastructure for critical business apps and VoIP, the demand for ultra-reliable FTTP is on the increase.
Fiber-optic Internet is many times faster than even the highest-speed copper Internet connections. If you remember waiting and watching while little blue bars were slowly creeping across your screen as you wait for a web-page to load and noisy dial-up modems, you will remember the huge excitement of ADSL hitting your area. It is still much faster than the dial-up and landline combo of old but it relies solely on copper wires. ADSL is also prone to signal strength issues over distance so you are somewhat at the mercy of your local telecoms infrastructure.
The further you are from the exchange, the weaker your signal strength. This all sounds rather damning for ADSL but let us not forget how much faster it is than what we had before. In comparison to a standard ADSL connection, ADSL2 can achieve speeds three times faster, however real-time speed and performance is still subject to distance from the exchange ideally you need to be within a 5km range.
This upgrade is ideal for small and growing businesses, especially when they are located near to an exchange. It is also better suited to tasks such as video conferencing, streaming, and downloading large media files than the standard ADSL. These will be better options if you require superfast speeds for a large number of users, or use hosted telephony for your business communications.

Runs through the BT phone line network High-quality, reliable broadband connection Permits faster data transmission through a single connection Allows internet access at the same time as making phone calls Minimal installation costs and maintenance ADSL broadband is an extremely cost effective way to access the internet and is the most useful for startups and small businesses who have low reliance on the technology. It matters how far away you are from the local cabinet.
With copper connections, speed does decrease over distance. The further away you are, the slower the connection may be. Fibre broadband is not affected by distance.
As outlined above, ADSL broadband connections use the legacy copper network which is the same network that has been used to connect our landline phones for over a century. Instead it will happen gradually on a street by street basis and will only happen if fibre uptake is at a level where it needs to be. So if fibre is available in your area, you may want to consider a fibre connection.
It's proven as the best performing broadband, costs not much more than ADSL and is generally free to install. If you're in a rural area where fibre is not available today or planned for anytime soon, it's also ok as we'll be ensuring the copper network will remain in these areas so you can continue to access landline and broadband services. Not all broadband is created equal. Average pricing source: Glimp March Excludes modem, install and other variable costs.
These estimates are not a guarantee of the speed you'll get at your address. Your broadband performance can be affected by range of factors beyond the Chorus network. Check your address now. Talk to your preferred provider about the best fibre plan. Here are some tips of what to look out for. Chorus will connect your home or business to the fibre network. For most properties this is very straight forward. If you're outside the Chorus fibre network, we can still connect you.
The basic unit of measurement for a piece of computer data is the bit which can be either 0 or 1. When we talk about the speed at which data moves across the internet we refer to megabits per second 1,, bits per second and more recently gigabits per second 1,,, bits per second. The faster you can download and upload data, the more enjoyable your internet experience will be.
That's because the things we like doing on the internet - like streaming movies, TV and music, and playing games - require lots of information to move quickly from the internet to our computer, device or TV. Broadband connection types like ADSL are advertised using the best speeds possible for the connection - a maximum potential upload and download speed.
