What is the difference between FTTH and FTTP?

FTTP and FTTH are two different abbreviations for the same thing. FTTP stands for ‘fibre to the premises’ and FTTH stands for ‘fibre to the home’. Unlike FTTC, FTTP broadband is delivered via fibre optic cables not only as far as the cabinet, but across the entire distance to your home or business.

What is the difference between FTTH and broadband?

FTTH (Fibre-to-the-Home): With this connection, broadband provides run the internet cable directly to the homes that help to offer fastest internet speed round the clock with strong connectivity. FTTB (Fiber to the Building/Basement): This connection does not run cable directly to user’s living space.

Is FTTC better than FTTH?

Fibre to the home / premises (FTTH or FTTP) Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP), also often referred to as Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) provides and end-to-end fibre optic connection the full distance from the exchange to the building and can deliver faster speeds than FTTC as there is no copper leg at all.

What are FTTH broadband connections?

Fiber to the home (FTTH) is the delivery of a communications signal over optical fiber from the operator’s switching equipment all the way to a home or business, thereby replacing existing copper infrastructure such as telephone wires and coaxial cable. That’s why fiber networks are said to be “future proof.”

Does FTTP improve Ping?

OP, I’m afraid – contrary to popular opinion – full fibre (FTTP) will NOT massively improve your ping times, especially if coming from FTTC.

What is FTTC connection?

FTTC stands for Fibre to the Cabinet. Fibre to the cabinet is a connectivity technology that is based on a combination of fibre optic cable and copper cable. From this distribution point a standard telephone line based on copper is then used to deliver the broadband connectivity.

What is FTTP network?

Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) is a form of fiber optic communication delivery in which an optical fiber is run directly onto customers’ premises. A central office distributes an optical signal over an optical distribution network (ODN).

What FTTC speed can I get?

Fibre can carry higher speeds compared to copper, also speed degrades over distance with copper lines whereas with fibre it doesn’t. The max speeds you can achieve on FTTC are 40/10 and 80/20, with FTTP you can achieve speeds starting from 40mbps to 1Gbps (Not guaranteed).
