Full Fibre BroadbandWhy full fibre matters when it comes to broadband |
Not all “fibre” is created equal
You’ve probably heard about the “fibre” service lots of broadband providers now claim to offer. But beware – some providers’ fibre service actually stops at the street cabinet, which means it’s copper phone lines the rest of the way.
This is called fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) and, depending on how far you live from the cabinet, it can cause frustrating drops in service – majorly impacting your broadband experience.
Full fibre vs standard broadband
Traditionally, standard broadband (known as ADSL) is delivered using existing copper phone lines, which can cause frustrating drops in service and is generally much slower. Average speeds can be around 10-11Mbps, depending on the provider.
Fibre is much faster. Full fibre even more so! If you’re looking for the best speed and reliability, full fibre is the obvious choice.
The real deal
We only deal in full fibre broadband, which means we bring that fibre goodness all the way to your building. Our built-for-purpose network bypasses those street cabinets, so you get the full speed and power from the exchange.
It’s called fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) or fibre-to-the-building (FTTB) and, when it comes to fast, reliable broadband, our connection is king.
Advantages of full fibre
It all depends on how fast you decide to go, but with a 1Gb full fibre connection (average speed 900Mbps), you could:

Don’t know your Mbps from your Gb? We’ve got you covered.
Hyperfast, not hyperexpensive
The benefits of full fibre speak for themselves – and it costs less than you’d think. In fact, switching to full fibre can actually save you money.
With monthly rolling options and Broadband Only or Broadband & Phone packages, you can tailor your Hyperoptic service to suit your needs – and your budget.
The full fibre future
As our network continues to grow, more and more people are waking up to the importance (and brilliance) of a full fibre connection.
With more buildings having access to full fibre, fast, reliable internet is becoming a utility. And now, going full fibre has never been more cost-effective or easy.
