You can usually pay anywhere between £20 and £35 a month for a fibre broadband package, but it depends on different factors – speed, provider, contract length, etc.
Is Talktalk fibre fttc or FTTP
TalkTalk’s Full Fibre service use fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) technology on the Openreach network.
Does Bt fibre need a phone line
No, you no longer need a BT phone line to get BT Broadband and BT TV.
How long does it take for BT to install fibre
The appointment will last up to four hours. Depending on the complexity of the installation to your property, Openreach may need you to be there for the whole day (8am to 6pm) while they complete all the necessary work.
We’ll let you know if your order needs such an appointment when you’re placing your order.
Can I get FTTP to my house UK
FTTP isn’t available everywhere yet, but it’s being installed up and down the UK.
Our FTTP broadband is called Full Fibre. FTTC stands for fibre to the cabinet.
Also known as fibre broadband, it uses fibre cables to a cabinet on your street, then copper cables the rest of the way to your home.
Does FTTP require digging
The only options to get FTTP into the property was dig up outside of the homeowner lifts up the floors blocking access to the original duct entry point.
Is BT full fibre better than virgin
Overall verdict The most important criteria are price and speed here – you get more for your money, on average, from Virgin, and they have a wider range of fibre speeds on offer.
If both BT and Virgin Media are available where you live, you’re most likely better off going with Virgin.
Is TalkTalk future fibre free
As a loyal TalkTalk customer your upgrade is available at no extra cost. You won’t pay any more than you do today, and you’ll get a full fibre broadband service with faster average speeds, that is up to 5x more reliable.
Is BT Fibre 2 Fast Enough
BT has some of the fastest broadband packages across both its Fibre and full Fibre connections.
With a mean 24-hour download speed of 60.8Mbits/sec, according to Ofcom’s latest figures, its Fibre 2 package is slightly ahead of the EE, Plusnet and TalkTalk equivalents.
How do I connect my Openreach box
Connect your Hub and Openreach modem using the Infinity cable (the black cable with red ends.)
Insert one end into the LAN 1 socket on your Openreach modem. Insert the other end in to the BT Infinity socket.
Then, connect the black power cable to your Hub and your power socket.
How do I know if I have FTTP
To find out if you can get high-speed fibre broadband via FTTP, use an FTTP checking tool.
You’ll find these on an ISP’s website to let you quickly check if FTTP has been rolled out to your area.
If not, FTTC is probably the best alternative (unless you live in rural areas).
Which broadband providers do not use BT lines
Which broadband providers do not use BT lines? Virgin Media is the only widely available broadband internet provider in the UK that does not use BT lines.
The only alternatives outside Virgin’s network are local or city-run fibre networks, including KCOM and Community Fibre.
How do you check if I can get FTTP
Enter your postcode and choose your address from the list. If it comes back with ‘Ultrafast is available…’ then good news FTTP is most likely available at your address on the Openreach network.
If it just talks about ‘Superfast’ then its not yet available from Openreach.
Can I just have a landline without internet
And since you can’t have a broadband connection without a physical line to connect it to your house, landlines have stayed relevant.
All broadband providers offer landlines. In fact, most insist on one. However, very, very few offer a landline on its own, without broadband.
Can I pay for FTTP to be installed
To pay for the cost of FTTP, Gigabit Broadband Vouchers and local authority top-ups can be used.
Table 3, below, shows the required voucher sign-up rate required to cover the cost of FTTP installation for a number of scenarios and locations.
Who offers FTTP on demand
Who are the FTTP on Demand Providers? Amvia, BT, Zen, Cerberus, Syscomm, Spectrum Internet & Plusnet are leading FTTP providers, but there are over 50 other providers serving businesses throughout the UK.
In fact, any ISP that provides FTTC can offer you FTTP on Demand. How much does FTTP on Demand cost?
What does FTTP stand for
FTTP and FTTH are two different abbreviations for the same thing. FTTP stands for ‘fibre to the premises’ and FTTH stands for ‘fibre to the home’.
They are used interchangeably, along with ‘Ultrafast’ and ‘Full Fibre’.
How does Openreach work
Openreach manages BT’s local access network which connects customers to their local telephone exchange, starting at the main distribution frame (MDF) in the exchange and ending at the network termination point (NTP) at the end user’s premises.
What is the fastest broadband in the UK
Fastest internet available in the UK The fastest internet widely available in the UK is 1Gigabit per second (1Gbps), which is 1000 Megabits per second (1000Mbps).
This is often referred to as Gigabit internet. Airband currently offer fibre broadband packages up to 900Mbps.
Do I need an engineer to install BT Broadband
Do you always need an engineer for broadband installation? No, you don’t always need an engineer visit.
If you’re switching broadband providers within the same network, (between BT Openreach providers, for example) and have all the connections in place, the switch can happen remotely.
What is the difference between FTTC and FTTP
FTTP is full fibre broadband that gives you a dedicated connection that runs directly from the exchange to your property.
FTTC is part fibre broadband that uses fibre optic cables to the main exchange but then uses old copper wires to connect to properties.
Why does it take 2 weeks to activate broadband
Two weeks is about right for a new residential provision. Business lines are usually quicker.
Charging will not start until your service is activated. Advance charges for provision of service, and initial line rental is normal.
Why are Openreach in my street
Why is this? The Openreach availability checker checks to see if the street cabinet (the large green box on the street) is fibre enabled.
This means it has fibre capability and is ready to accept orders from all communication providers.
What is an Openreach modem
If you are fibre customer you might have an Openreach modem (or ONT) installed.
This white box connects to a fibre optic cable, which runs directly to your house and allows you to access our fibre network for broadband and voice.
Does Virgin use Openreach landline
Virgin runs on its own exclusive network, whereas BT operates over the widely used Openreach network, but whatever package you currently have – broadband, TV or phone – switching between the two need not be a hassle.
Does TalkTalk do FTTP
Budget conscious UK ISP TalkTalk has finally soft launched their first “Future Fibre” broadband packages based off Openreach’s (BT) ever expanding Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network, which at the time of writing appears to offer ultrafast speeds from 150Mbps to 500Mbps.
How long does FTTP take to activate
FTTP installations are more complex than traditional broadband installations, lead times to completion vary, but are typically about 4 weeks.
Your ISP will provide you with appointment dates in advance.
Can you plug your router into any phone socket
Conclusion. Technically, you can’t connect a router to any phone socket, because a router is not the same as a modem.
You can connect a modem or router/modem combo to a phone socket, but it still has to be a DSL modem.
Can Virgin connect to Openreach
BT vs Virgin Media: fibre broadband availability Unlike most other providers, Virgin Media doesn’t use Openreach and owns and operates its own cable broadband network.
Can I cancel my landline and still have internet
Re: Can I stop my landline but keep broadband? If you stop your landline then your broadband will also be ceased and would be treated as a contract termination, and could involve cancellation charges.
The cost of the landline connection is included in the broadband cost, so there would not be any saving.
