Wessex Internet FTTP

The Parish Council are supporting a drive by Wessex Internet to give our residents the option of super fast fibre to the premise broadband. We don't want our rural community to be neglected when it comes to broadband provision, we would like to be proactive and future proof our community particularly recognising that we are becoming more and more reliant on our consumption of everyday services online.

What is FTTP?  Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) brings fibre cables directly into the home, bringing ultra-fast broadband speed as well as facilitating stable connectivity for lots of devices who are all vying for their share of bandwidth.  FTTP typically delivers speeds of 100mb/s – 1gb/s.

I thought we already had broadband?  FTTP differs to our current broadband – at the moment we have Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC), a green cabinet which you’ll see at West End Lane.  Fibre terminates at this cabinet and then existing copper cables carry the signals for the last portion of their journey.  This is slow as we’re talking about decades old infrastructure, and the further away you are from the cabinet, the slower your broadband.  FTTC typically delivers speeds of 2mb/s – 30mb/s.

Any further questions or concerns about providing superfast broadband to Donhead St Andrew please….
