Full fibre (FTTP) vs part fibre (FTTC): what’s the difference?

FTTC (fibre to the cabinet) runs fibre to the street cabinet, then copper telephone wire to your home. Speeds fall the further you are from the cabinet — typically up to 80 Mbps.

FTTP (fibre to the premises, or “full fibre”) runs fibre all the way into your home. Speeds of 900 Mbps or more are common and far less affected by distance.
