question

What’s the difference between Fibre and Full Fibre?

You might have ‘Fibre’ in your School, but is it Full Fibre? Lots of providers have historically
referred to the most common internet service, Fibre to the Cabinet as ‘Fibre’. This can be misleading, and confusing, as now we are referring to Full Fibre, we will break it down here. 

fibre-diagram-1

Fibre to the Cabinet or FTTC or ‘Fibre’ is fibre optic from the telephone exchange to the nearest green cabinet on the roadside to your property. Then from the cabinet to your property they use copper telephone lines to delivery your internet. The problem here is, where Fibre maintains its speed over any distance, copper will slow down. That means the further away from the cabinet you are, the more difficulty you will face.

This service also has a speed cap, but the speeds vary, again, based on your distance from the cabinet, the further away you are the slower speed you will be able to access. 

full-fibre-diagram-1

Now Full Fibre, this is fibre all the way from the telephone exchange, to a nearby distribution point, then its still fibre all the way into your property. No copper telephone lines, no speeds slowing down, no reaching max capacity for your area or experiencing those pesky peak time problems.

It is what it says on the tin, Full Fibre, all the way from the source to your business.

PSTN switch off

The Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) will close in December 2025, which means that every phone line in the UK will be required to upgrade to a fully digital network that uses Internet Protocol (IP) across a fibre-based service.

While 2025 may seem a long way off, businesses won’t be able to operate any ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) or PSTN-based services shortly, and will need to find a new solution. The most popular alternative being telephone services delivered over the internet (VoIP), which can be extremely cost effective, with businesses making average yearly savings of £456.
