The biggest question for those new to this broadband technology is, what is full fibre?
To put it simply, full fibre means gigabit-capable speeds (or 1000Mbps), which is about 20X faster compared with the national average speed of 51.48Mps, resulting in a much more reliable and consistent internet connection.
The main difference is that they use light as their data transmission method while copper uses electrical signals that get weaker the further they travel. Light signals on the other hand are able to travel much further, much quicker, and ensure a consistent connection, no matter the distance.

When one of our engineers arrives, they will assess the property and locate the nearest point of presence or network point.
When the method of connection has been identified, the engineer will install a grey box to the outside of your house. This is called a customer splice point (CSP).
The fibre cable will be taken from the newly installed CSP and connected to another small grey box called an optical network terminal (ONT) inside your home.
Finally, the engineer will carry out a configuration test, which means the installation process is complete. You are now free to connect your router.
