How good is full-fibre broadband

And that’s all there is to it. Fibre broadband refers to services with download speeds that have an average top download speed of around 67Mb.

We strongly recommend you connect your device via. Ethernet cable to our Linksys router for reliability and to make the most of your full-fibre broadband connection and to avoid any network interference.

BT Infinity uses an FTTC setup, with fibre connections running to a junction box that will be on, or very close to, the street where you live.
The final stage, running from the junction box to your home, uses a VDSL connection over existing copper phone lines.
What routers do Community Fibre use?

The Openreach website has a page dedicated to its fibre broadband roll-out plans.
Is Community Fibre full fibre
Community Fibre’s entire network is full fibre ‘Fibre to the Premises’ (FTTP), meaning that it will give you some of the the fastest and most reliable speeds available in the country.
Can I have a landline with Fibre broadband
Full-fibre suppliers usually offer a VOIP calls package, which gives you a phone number and allows you to make landline-equivalent calls over the internet.
Of course, if your internet goes down so does your phone service. The other option to look at for broadband without a phone line is mobile broadband.
Does Vodafone use BT lines
Yes, Vodafone’s Superfast fibre is delivered using BT broadband’s openreach network phone lines so if you want to purchase the superfast fibre you will require BT phone lines.
What does FTTC stand for
FTTC stands for fibre-to-the-cabinet. With an FTTC connection, fibre optic cables are used to bring internet to fibre cabinets, the small green boxes you see relatively often out in the streets.
However, copper cables are used to connect houses to the cabinet.
Do you need to drill a hole for broadband
The engineer will then install further cables to entry points inside your home, which will require them to drill a small hole in your wall.
They’ll then complete the setup to ensure it’s all up and running as you expect.
The process should take between 30 minutes and two hours.
Do I need an engineer to install fibre broadband
You will need an engineer visit to install the fibre cable and ONT (optical modem).
What boroughs are Community Fibre in
Currently Community Fibre operates in the following London boroughs: Barnet, Brent, Bexley, Bromley, Camden, City of London, Croydon, Ealing, Enfield, Greenwich, Hackney, Hammersmith and Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, Kingston upon Thames, Lambeth, Lewisham, Merton, Newham,
Will FTTC be phased out
All PSTN lines, such as ISDN phone lines used by businesses, and all older internet connections, such as ADSL and FTTC broadband, will become obsolete.
Openreach is on course to replace all copper connections by the end of 2025, but some places will see them switched off well before then, starting with Salisbury.
Can I switch from ADSL to VDSL
A change or upgrade from ADSL2+ to VDSL is possible if VDSL is available.
Is BT fibre 2 FTTP
In this case, the Fibre 1 and Fibre 2 plans will be delivered using FTTP technology.
You’ll continue to benefit from the improved reliability of full fibre technology but you won’t get the faster speeds available.
For more information, see our full guide to BT’s Full Fibre plans.
What is GPON stand for
The most advanced technology is based on optical fibre cables and is therefore called fibre-to-the-home (FTTH).
The FTTH variant more commonly used in Europe to provide FTTH services is Gigabit Passive Optical Network, or GPON.
Does Community Fibre use a phone line
The Community Fibre Calls service is a modern VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service delivered over our 100% full-fibre network.
In other words, you use the internet to make and receive phone calls. As such, you do not use or pay for, a traditional phone line based on the old traditional copper network.
What is BT community
BT Community Connections is an award scheme which enables community and charitable groups to get online and make use of information and communication technology (ICT).

How do I upgrade to FTTP for free
To get your free FTTP upgrade, you first need to be at an FTTN or FTTC that’s ready to be upgraded.
You can check your upgrade eligibility through any telco that’s part of the upgrade program, and if you’re not eligible, you can request updates about your address via the NBN Co website.
