What is Fibre To The Cabinet?
In UK residential properties, Fibre To The Cabinet, or FTTC, is the most popular kind of broadband connection. It takes advantage of pre-existing copper telephone wires to offer broadband into the building using a combination of copper and fibre cables.

Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) is a network design that combines copper and optical fibre. It supplies fibre optic cable to the “curb,” a street cabinet, or a utility pole. At that point, the network path to the residence or place of business is completed by the already-existing coaxial cable, fibre cable, or twisted pair wire.
After FTTC delivers the internet to your neighbourhood street cabinet via fibre connections, it travels slowly through copper wires to your house. FTTP operates in a similar manner, except it uses fibre cables rather than slower copper connections to go from the cabinet to your house.
Because FTTP broadband doesn’t require copper cables, it can achieve substantially greater speeds than FTTC. Although it can go much faster, most carriers presently only provide up to 1Gbps, or 1,000 megabits per second.
