We delve into the benefits of Full Fibre broadband, no matter whether you’re a gamer, business owner or just use the internet to keep in touch with family. Full Fibre broadband is the future of the internet. Using fibre optic cables directly to your property gives you faster speeds and greater reliability than standard Fibre broadband, which most homes and businesses still rely on.
In this blog, we delve into the benefits of Full Fibre for homes and businesses across Cornwall and Devon.
What is Full Fibre broadband?
The term Full Fibre can be thrown around without much description of how it differs from the standard Fibre that most of us are used to. Previously known as Fibre Broadband, it’s now often referred to as ‘Partial Fibre’. This is because, although fibre optic cables make up most of the network, copper wiring is used to connect these cables from a street cabinet into your home.
This is why standard or partial fibre is often known as ‘FTTC’, standing for ‘Fibre To The Cabinet’. You may hear Full Fibre being referred to as ‘FTTP’, standing for ‘Fibre To The Property’. Full fibre broadband connects straight from the property to the exchange through fibre optic cables, meaning FTTC doesn’t offer the array of additional benefits of Full Fibre broadband.
What are the benefits of Full Fibre broadband?
Enhanced reliability
One of the key benefits of Full Fibre broadband is that it’s a much more reliable option than Partial Fibre broadband or FTTC, as it is less prone to dropouts or interference. Due to standard Fibre broadband using copper wiring to connect the street cabinet to your home, it is much more susceptible to interference from external factors. Extreme weather is a common aspect that can interfere with your internet. Not to mention, the longer the line of copper wiring takes to reach you, the slower the speed is at the end of it.
These two factors are most prominent in more rural areas, which is why, typically, people living rurally will find their broadband to be very slow. However, Full Fibre broadband removes this issue due to the fibre optic cable running directly to your home, with no copper wiring in sight!
Higher bandwidth is also among the common benefits of Full Fibre broadband, offering faster download speeds from the get-go while being able to handle more data and devices without slowing down. This means you can rely on Full Fibre to keep you connected, whether it’s a peak time or during bad weather.
Environmental sustainability
An often overlooked aspect of broadband is its environmental impact. Sustainability is an undeniably important factor, especially throughout Devon and Cornwall and one we prioritise at Wildanet.
A major advantage of Full Fibre is that it consumes less energy and creates less waste than its copper counterparts. As well as there being fewer electrical components required, the hardware used is smaller and easier to recycle.
Furthermore, the longevity and durability of fibre optic cables minimise the need for frequent maintenance and replacements, conserving resources and reducing waste. By embracing Full Fibre broadband, we can continue striving for sustainability.
Future-proof technology
In an ever-evolving technological world, one of the top benefits of Full Fibre broadband is that it’s future-proof, meaning it is able to keep up with the rapidly growing demand for more efficient internet. Fibre optic cables have a much longer lifespan than copper wires, most of which have already outlived their lifespan. Not only does this lend itself to the sustainability benefits of Full Fibre broadband, but it also can give homeowners peace of mind.
Allowing them to get on with what’s important to them, knowing they have a reliable internet solution for decades to come. This ability to minimally impact people’s lifestyles is why Full Fibre is such an amazing solution.
Empowering rural business
An amazing benefit of Full Fibre broadband is the limitations it would remove from businesses that are currently using an FTTC system. For most businesses in Cornwall and Devon, Fibre To The Cabinet broadband has been the only option. Meaning they are susceptible to common interferences and dropouts. However, by reaching more businesses and houses with Full Fibre broadband, it will be able to cater for their higher demand for high-speed internet, requiring good broadband to be productive and efficient.
Full Fibre is also able to better accommodate the growing workforce of individuals who work from home or in a remote role in order to not limit their lifestyle. Introducing Full Fibre to businesses in Cornwall empowers individuals to work in a way that suits them, as well as deliver a solution to businesses that don’t restrict their growth and opportunities.
