5 Benefits of FTTP Broadband

Heard of FTTP Broadband but unsure of what it is?

FTTP, or Fibre to the Premise broadband, uses Fibre cables directly to your business. FTTP (Fibre to the Premise) broadband can offer many benefits for businesses, and if it’s available in your area, we’d recommend moving your services to it. If you’re still not convinced, here are five benefits to consider. 

HIGHER SPEEDS

FTTP provides much higher internet speeds than traditional broadbands like ADSL and FTTC broadband. Different speed options are available, with some providers offering download speeds up to 1.8Gbps—that’s fast! 

This is particularly beneficial for businesses with high data usage, such as those that rely on cloud services, video conferencing, and large file transfers.

COST-EFFECTIVE

Although the initial setup cost for FTTP can be higher, the long-term benefits often outweigh the initial investment cost, with monthly pricing lower than that of traditional broadband services.

Faster speed and cheaper monthly costs – what’s not to love?

MORE RELIABLE

Fibre cables are less susceptible to environmental factors, which results in a more stable and reliable internet connection, reducing downtime and ensuring consistent business operations.

SCALABILITY

FTTP broadband can easily be scaled to accommodate future business growth. It’s a simple speed upgrade without requiring significant infrastructure changes or downtime for your business.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

Fibre optic networks are more energy-efficient compared to traditional copper networks. They require less power to operate, contributing to a lower carbon footprint.

FTTP broadband is currently being rolled out across the UK, with Openreach aiming to deliver it to 25 million homes and businesses by December 2026.
