Full Fibre Broadband
Just had a mailshot from "brsk", offering to install fibre cabling for the last few yards, directly into the house.
Anybody know what's happening - surely BT themselves, as infrastructure owners, would be doing this?

Re: Full Fibre Broadband
Presumably they are independent - like Virgin Media.

Re: Full Fibre Broadband
Ask yourself this, do you really need 100 or 500Mbps downloads at a cost of £33.00/£39.00 per month? At home, we get 75Mbps for £24/pm, and it's more than adequate from me, the missus and two kids. Different if you're running a business and downloading/uploading large files all day long.
Re: Full Fibre Broadband
Am I missing out here? This is what BT says we currently get.
“ Normal available speeds”
Your normal available download speed will be between 17-19 Mbps
Your normal available upload speed will be between 3-4 Mbps
“Minimum guaranteed download speed”
Your minimum guaranteed download speed will be 16 Mbps”

Re: Full Fibre Broadband
Really all depends on your personal needs.
If you only use the Internet for Facebook and browsing Web pages, like online shopping, this site etc you don't need high speeds at all. What you have their is plenty.
If you have a house that has someone streaming Netflix all day and kids on their consoles playing online, you'll need faster.

Re: Full Fibre Broadband
If more people work from home, they'll need the better option
Fibre broadband is only from the green box to the house, but the newer housing estates are being built with the older style broadband cabling if I remember rightly, which is a bit of a con, but that's what happens when one company controls that part of the cabling installation.

Thats wrong tbh. The fibre runs to the cabinet then its over to the copper wires to the house.GodIsADeeJay81 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 2:49 pmIf more people work from home, they'll need the better option

I was told it's the opposite way round.Untinted Glasses wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 2:52 pmThats wrong tbh. The fibre runs to the cabinet then its over to the copper wires to the house.
They boost the signal from the box down fibre cabling to the house to ensure they can get as close as possible to their promised speeds.
It's easier to install fibre from the boxes because it's less work required.

Re: Full Fibre Broadband
Just googled it
FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) Is a mix of traditional copper wire and fibre optic cable. The fibre optic cable runs from an exchange or distribution point to roadside cabinets that you probably walk past every day. Once the fibre cable reaches the cabinet, it meets the copper wire that connects to your home or business.

Re: Full Fibre Broadband
The other way round it would lose all its speed before it got to the box. Its fibre to the home thats the next step and that takes fibre cables from the box on the street to your home.

Re: Full Fibre Broadband
Just out of interest. We may be moving to a new build soon. I want to know if they will be fitted with good broadband facilities. Who would I ask and how would I word the question?

Re: Full Fibre Broadband
BT own the infrastructure but now have to duct share to encourage the roll out of FTTP, amongst other things. Openreach are providing FTTP on the BT network but that work is usually in places they have labelled fibre cities, or going to the far end places that currently have the worst connection.basil6345789 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 12:54 pmJust had a mailshot from "brsk", offering to install fibre cabling for the last few yards, directly into the house.

Re: Full Fibre Broadband
If it's over 30 new homes it should be there already, (see link: https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2 ... sites.html ). Check with the developer as well.gandhisflipflop wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 8:52 pmJust out of interest. We may be moving to a new build soon.

Re: Full Fibre Broadband
I think their entry-levels prices are too high once you're out of the discount period. To take on the big ISPs, they need to be price-matching while offering higher speeds.

Re: Full Fibre Broadband
Those ugly giant telegraph poles are spreading around Burnley like wildfire.
If, like me, you don’t like them then refuse to consider the company who put them there - 6Ginternet - as a broadband supplier.
