What is fibre broadband?
In the UK, 'fibre broadband' often means fibre to the cabinet, also called FTTC. Fibre runs to a street cabinet, then copper wiring carries the signal to your home.
This can be much faster than old ADSL, but speeds depend on distance from the cabinet and line quality.
What is full fibre?
Full fibre, also called FTTP, means fibre optic cable runs all the way to your property. It can support much faster speeds and often better reliability.
Full fibre is usually the best option for busy homes, large downloads, remote work and multiple devices.
Which should I choose?
Choose full fibre where available if price and contract terms suit you. If full fibre is not available, standard fibre may still be enough for browsing, HD streaming and lighter use.
