Understanding Fibre Broadband

Fibre broadband starts from an exchange, travels through fibre-optic cables to a cabinet near your home, and often uses copper wires for the final stretch. With fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP), fibre-optic cables go directly to your home. This provides faster and more reliable internet, perfect for Wi-Fi heavy-users.
