What is Fibre to the Premises?
Read on to hear all the benefits to Fibre to the Premises:
Speed and Performance
NBN Fibre (FTTP) delivers internet via fibre-optic cables directly to your premises, enabling speeds up to 1 Gbps or more. In contrast, NBN Copper (FTTN/FTTC) relies on older copper wiring for the final stretch, which significantly limits speed—often maxing out around 100 Mbps in ideal conditions
Reliability & Stability
Fibre is far more reliable than copper. It’s immune to electrical interference, weather disruptions, and signal degradation over distance. Copper lines, especially long ones, are prone to faults and performance drops, particularly during peak usage or adverse weather
Latency & Responsiveness
Fibre offers ultra-low latency, making it ideal for online gaming, video conferencing, and real-time applications. Copper-based NBN connections often suffer from higher latency due to signal conversion and congestion.
Symmetrical Upload/Download Speed
Fibre supports symmetrical speeds, meaning upload speeds can match download speeds. This is crucial for remote work, cloud backups, and video calls. Copper connections typically have much slower upload speeds. .
Maintenance & Durability
Fibre infrastructure is more durable and requires less maintenance. Copper networks degrade over time and are more susceptible to outages and faults
Future-Proofing
Fibre is built for the future. It can handle increasing bandwidth demands without needing major upgrades. Copper networks, by contrast, are nearing obsolescence and will require replacement as digital needs grow.
