FTTC

Fibre-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC) is a type of broadband which uses fibre optic cables to help increase the speed of your broadband connection. Fiber optic cables are able to carry a lot more data than copper cables, especially over long distances. It is often referred to as ‘super-fast broadband’ or ‘next-generation broadband’ as it offers faster speeds than traditionally were available using previous technologies.

 

Fibre-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC) involves running fibre optic cables from the telephone exchange to the street cabinets, that are normally within a few hundred metres of your property, which is where the name comes from. From the street cabinet it can either connect direct to your house or with a standard phone line.

 

SoGea FTTC is the name for Fibre-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC) without an analogue line as part of the package. As part of BT’s upgrade plan all analogue lines will be removed by the end of 2025

Benefits

Faster

The download and upload speeds are faster than are available via traditional ADSL broadband

Stable

Fibre broadband is much more stable than traditional ADSL broadband

Hosting

It may be possible with the increased bandwidth to replace expensive software licenses with cloud based systems instead

Cost Effective

FTTC is an attractive alternative to an EFM or Leased line. Depending on your requirements you may be able to opt for FTTC and get the speed you need more cost effectively

IP address

As a business we automatically give you a Static IP address. So whether you want to do anything from accessing your systems remotely to running an FTP server the broadband is ready for it

Future Proof

The speed of the broadband is limited only by the exchange equipment and not by the fibre itself, making this technology future proof
