Fast, reliable FTTC broadband for business.

Fibre to the Cabinet delivers fast download and upload speeds at a fraction of the cost of a leased line — perfect for smaller offices and as a primary or backup connection.

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.
