What is FTTC?
Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) uses fibre optic cable from the exchange to the green street cabinet near your premises, then a copper connection for the final stretch. It's significantly faster than traditional ADSL broadband, much more affordable than a full leased line, and available almost everywhere.
For most small-to-medium businesses on a business park, FTTC is the sweet spot — enough bandwidth for cloud apps, video calls and modern working without the leased line price tag.
Typical FTTC speeds.
- Download: up to 80 Mbps
- Upload: up to 20 Mbps
- Contention: business-grade circuits with prioritised support
- Backup: 4G/5G failover available for resilience
Is FTTC right for you?
FTTC works brilliantly when you need solid, reliable broadband at a sensible cost. If you're running heavy cloud workloads, large file transfers, hosted phone systems for big teams, or you simply can't afford to be offline — a leased line is usually the better answer.
