Services include:

ADSL 2+

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line is the common name given to the type of technology that is used to provide an internet connection to the premises that is always on, this technology does not utilise the full capacity of an analogue line meaning that it is still possible to make voice calls over the line. Asymmetric refers to Downstream and Upstream speed and means that they are different values, a real world example of this is a standard ADSL2+ connection where typically the Downstream speed is 14 Mbit/s and the Upstream speed is 1 Mbit/s. The ADSL2+ used in the United Kingdom is sometimes referred to as Annex A.

ANNEX M

The short hand term for the ITU G.992.5 Annex M Standard, like Annex-A this is another standard of ADSL 2+ but this focuses on Upstream rather than Downstream. In practise Annex-M can more than double the Upstream speed of the standard ADSL product.

FTTC

Fibre to the Cabinet is a term for a broadband connection using optical fibre to supplement part of the usual metal local loop used for connection to an exchange. With FTTC the optical fibre supplements the copper from the DP (street cabinet) to the exchange, in practice this allows for much higher speeds as the length of the copper used to convey data is much shorter and also boasts increased stability over its ADSL2+ counterpart. With FTTC the DLSAM is located in the street cabinet rather than the exchange.

FTTC G.Fast

G.Fast broadband is a local access network technology that provides a Broadband service from the end users premise to the Internet. It uses copper from the End User premise to BT’s Cabinet with fibre then running to the BT exchange in a very similar way to FTTC. The difference is that where FTTC uses VDSL2 to encode the data stream, we will now use G.Fast technology for this to allow for quicker speeds. We are now able to offer bandwidths of 160/30 Mbit/s & 330/50 Mbit/s.

FTTP

Fibre to The Premises – A Fibre all the way to the end user’s premises (no copper) – available in areas where full fibre infrastructure already exists in the street. Due to the whole circuit being Fibre, we can offer higher speeds with higher rates of reliability.With FTTP there is no “up to” bandwidth. The bandwidth that you buy is the bandwidth that you will obtain over your local access tail.
