What is business fibre broadband?

Business fibre broadband is designed for commercial use: fibre connection (FTTC/FTTP), priority support, Service Level Agreements (SLAs), optional static IP, and faster fault repair times. It offers stronger guarantees than residential.

Standard fibre (FTTC) vs full fibre (FTTP)

FTTC

  • up to 67–80 Mbps
  • 10–20 Mbps upload
  • shared cabinet

Best for: sole traders, home offices, low data use. Slower uploads, less consistent under load.

FTTP

  • 100–1000 Mbps
  • 100–900 Mbps upload
  • direct fibre

Best for: growing teams, cloud‑dependent, VoIP, large file transfers. Stronger long‑term.
