FTTP vs Ethernet: What is best for your business?
Lancashire, UK – 2023
FTTP and Ethernet both differ in many ways, lets start by defining each.
What is FTTP?
FTTP is the technology that employs fibre cables straight to the premises and is the foundation of future connectivity and broadband. High-speed connectivity can be directly delivered from the exchange to your company location via FTTP, which makes use of fibre-optic cables.
With up to 1 GB of download bandwidth and 114 MB of upload capacity, FTTP ensures lightning-fast data transfers and uninterrupted business operations.
It is very quick and simple to order FTTP using our Nexus Portal. The FTTP network is expanding quickly; at the moment, 52% of the UK is connected. Compared to conventional copper-based broadband, it has lower latency, is less prone to failure, and is more reliable.
With the use of shared broadband technology, FTTP provides consumers with a fast, dependable, and reasonably priced connection.
What is Ethernet?
Since Ethernet was first created with businesses in mind, it offers dedicated broadband services with synchronous speeds and guaranteed bandwidth.
Frequently referred to as a leased line, fibre Ethernet provides uncontested high-speed access with speeds ranging from 10Mbps to 10Gbps. Ethernet also has significantly better availability and is available nationwide.
So which is best for your business?
When broken down into sectors, we can see that FTTP will best suit retail businesses, hospitality such as pubs and residential. Ethernet would be most suitable for businesses with higher data demand such as multi-site businesses and healthcare.
