† Fibre broadband speed is described as ‘average download speed of 66Mb’ and ‘average upload speed of 18Mb’ on Unlimited fibre extra and ‘average download speed of 36Mb’ and ‘average upload speed of 9Mb’ on Unlimited Fibre as it is based on speed available to at least 50% of customers at peak time (8-10pm).

Do I need a new master socket for fibre
If you’re setting up your Fibre, you don’t need a special faceplate. We’ll send you microfilters to use with your existing socket.
However, you don’t need to worry about microfilters if your master socket has already had a broadband accelerator faceplate fitted (master socket with two sockets).
What equipment is needed for FTTP
FTTP installation requests may require in-home cabling and include multiple devices to be installed inside and outside of your premises.

What is the difference between Smart hub 1 and 2
The BT Smart Hub 2 offers very similar features to the Smart Hub 1 and now comes free with any BT Fibre broadband package.
Both the Hub 1 & 2 offer dual band Wi-Fi, but as the Hub 2 is designed for use with BT’s ‘Complete Wi-Fi system’ it’s not possible to split the SSID names for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.
What speed do I need for 4K TV
Also known as 4K (2160p), this resolution uses five times more data than HD video and requires at least 25 Mbps of bandwidth.
What happens when Openreach install fibre
With Full Fibre installation, we’ll upgrade the master phone socket (the white box on the wall) and install an Openreach modem (ONT), which connects to the fibre optical cable that comes into your house.
The ONT enables you to get our fibre broadband and phone services, and connects to your BT Smart Hub.
How long does it take to get fibre installed
An installation can take anything between 1 to 4 hours depending on the complexity of getting the fibre cable from the boundary wall to where you want the CPE to be located.
Once the CPE has been installed, you will need to plug your computer into the CPE with a LAN cable.
What is the meaning of FTTP
