Advantages And Pitfalls Of Choosing FTTC Internet Solutions

By Carroll Mcintosh


It is great when the broadband technologies have been growing all the time and ease our life. Broadband expansion is an evidence of advanced technology that should be welcomed by all. You have an added advantage to know other broadband while using the broadband connection in accessing the internet.

For now, we are going to evaluate some of the broadband technologies we have. There are different types of broadband technologies, such as broadband via cable, Digital Subscriber Line(DSL), satellite and wireless. We are going to begin by explaining about optic fibre broadband and associate it with FTTC.

The current broadband used in the UK is the fibre broadband. When people hear what fibre broadband is, they will reffer the fibre broadband is a super-fast broadband. To enhance the speed of broadband connection many operators are using fibre optic broadband. Everybody can get to experience using fibre broadband from home users to enterprises. Fibre broadband has gained popularity due to its high speed.

Nothing feels better than browsing and searching pages on the internet at a speed of 40Mbps offered by fibre broadband. As it may sound to be a great technology, not all people get to exploit the full potential of fibre broadband the reason being that the speed will be determined by the length of your phone length to the cabinet.

There are two types of Fibre Broadband. That is FTTC broadband (Fibre To The Cabinet) broadband and Fibre To The Home (FTTH or FTTP).

It is the fibre optic cable that is used in connecting local telephone with the nearest street side cabinet in FTTC broadband. VDSL2 and DSLAM capable are installed in new cabinet and you phone line will be connected. This gives room for the speed of broadband to accelerate and be inclined than of the rest.

To make your FTTC broadband works properly, you need to connect this device that supports PPPoE. If you already have an ADSL router with a built in ADSL modem, it won't work with the FTTC's service, as the result, you need to get a new router. Using computer connection alone, only needs a connection of BT provide and make a PPPoE network connection for use. The different upstream speed is available in 2Mbps and 10Mbps. BT openreach says that the least speed attained will be 15Mbps in the next days to come. If you already have fibre broadband at home, you can check the actual speed of yours with broadband speed test.

If you have a fibre broadband it is recommended that you also get to know its short comings. A sound network of fibre-optic network is required to get rid of anomalies of sound but to build these will cost you fortune, if you lack UTP then opt for new cables. Optical fibre broadband has great characteristics and many advantages. Optical fibre broadband cannot be compared with other broadband such as the wireless internet.

There are numerous shortcomings associated to installation of wireless connection that includes, need for putting an antenna to capture waves, wireless connection is prone to experience climate and radio frequency disturbances from other sources, putting up wireless connection is not only difficult but expensive.
