Fibre to the premises (more commonly known as FTTP) is a form of fibre optic cable delivery that provides internet access to a group of users directly from an ISP (internet service provider). There are several types of optical fibre delivery terms that are often categorised as “Fibre to the x”, with other forms of delivery being similarly abbreviated.

Fibre to the premises operates at much faster speeds than typical coaxial cable internet or dial-up, this delivery style is conducted through the use of optical networks that link to the central office of a premises occupied by the consumer who has subscribed to the service.

FTTP technology is now at the forefront of cutting edge broadband, giving businesses access to incredible fast and ultra-reliable internet speeds accross the entirety of the UK. Businesses will benefit from high-quality uninterrupted video calls, perfect collaboration with collegues and customers and uninterrupted access to hosted applications and a lot more. More and more businesses are now opting for a FTTP connection within their business.

With good reason, too. In this day and age every business needs a connection that they can rely on, companies need an internet service that delivers high speeds that is also resilient and secure, offering unmetered data usage for both downloads and uploads at an affordable cost. Normal broadband lines were never really intended to provide the same level that FTTP can.

From basic start-ups to growing SMEs, companies can now get their hands on a range of fast, reliable and affordable FTTP broadband. For example, in the UK Syscomm is one of the leading providers that offer FTTP on demand to businesses while providing ongoing support from UK based teams.

FTTP which can also be reffered to as FTTH (Fibre to the home), provides an end-to-end connection which is the full distance from the exchange to the building your business operates in, and can deliver much faster speeds than FTTC.
