Services include:
ADSL 2+
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line is the common name
given to the type of technology that is used to provide an
internet connection to the premises that is always on, this
technology does not utilise the full capacity of an analogue
line meaning that it is still possible to make voice calls over
the line. Asymmetric refers to Downstream and Upstream
speed and means that they are different values, a real
world example of this is a standard ADSL2+ connection
where typically the Downstream speed is 14 Mbit/s and the
Upstream speed is 1 Mbit/s. The ADSL2+ used in the United
Kingdom is sometimes referred to as Annex A.
ANNEX M
The short hand term for the ITU G.992.5 Annex M Standard, like Annex-A this is another standard of ADSL 2+ but this focuses on Upstream rather than Downstream. In practise Annex-M can more than double the Upstream speed of the standard ADSL product
FTTC
Fibre to the Cabinet is a term for a broadband connection
using optical fibre to supplement part of the usual metal
local loop used for connection to an exchange. With FTTC
the optical fibre supplements the copper from the DP (street
cabinet) to the exchange, in practice this allows for much
higher speeds as the length of the copper used to convey
data is much shorter and also boasts increased stability
over its ADSL2+ counterpart. With FTTC the DLSAM is
located in the street cabinet rather than the exchange.
FTTC G.Fast
G.Fast broadband is a local access network technology that
provides a Broadband service from the end users premise
to the Internet. It uses copper from the End User premise to
BT’s Cabinet with fibre then running to the BT exchange in a
very similar way to FTTC. The difference is that where FTTC
uses VDSL2 to encode the data stream, we will now use
G.Fast technology for this to allow for quicker speeds. We
are now able to offer bandwidths of 160/30 Mbit/s & 330/50
Mbit/s.
FTTP
Fibre to The Premises – A Fibre all the way to the end user’s
premises (no copper) – available in areas where full fibre
infrastructure already exists in the street. Due to the whole
circuit being Fibre, we can offer higher speeds with higher
rates of reliability.With FTTP there is no “up to” bandwidth.
The bandwidth that you buy is the bandwidth that you will
obtain over your local access tail.
