The fibre broadband connection is very fast speed internet as it uses optical fibre for transmission of data.
The fibre broadband is faster than broadband connection.

How fast is full fibre broadband
A connection using both fibre and copper (FTTC) can reach speeds of up to about 66Mbps.
But a full-fibre connection (FTTP) – with no copper – can offer much faster average speeds of one gigabit per second (Gbps) – that’s 1,000Mbps.
It could potentially offer speeds in terabits per second in future.
How fast is Openreach full fibre
