Connecting businesses to ultrafast connectivity
The business world is evolving. Technology is at the heart of this evolution and the driving force is gigabit capable, full fibre connectivity. As the Government promises 100% Gigabit capability by 2025, we are playing a key role in this vision with the rollout of our Faster Britain network across the UK.
A Faster Britain-enabled area will provide full fibre and access to ultrafast connectivity, supporting cloud-enabled and future proof technologies.

The Background
As the UK Government promises 85% Gigabit capability by 2025, many copper-based broadband systems used by businesses across Britain will soon begin to be effectively cut off. Whilst FTTC was seen as ground-breaking at the time, offering speeds up to 300Mbps, today the ‘superfast’ of FTTC has been seriously overtaken by Ultrafast (300Mbps+) and now Gigafast (speeds of up to 1Gbps).What does this all mean?
What all this means is that, in order to function and excel, each and every business - regardless of size or status - will need to make the switch to a superior solution offering Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) connectivity.Next Steps!
The next step is to look at a provider who can best accommodate your business’ connectivity priorities, whether this be focused on pricing, speeds, or support, there’s a vast range of packages and providers out there to choose from. Additionally, another crucial factor in your decision process should be around the network on which your connectivity is provided, such as the Faster Britain network,Why Faster Britain is different to the rest?

Resisting the Change - The impact of poor connectivity
Put simply, if your connectivity is slow and unreliable, your business is slow and unreliable. Even if you’ve made the switch from copper to fibre, if it’s not full fibre, you will more than likely still struggle with speed and reliability when it comes to running applications requiring heavy bandwidth. Many of the processes that keep your business alive could still be being carried out over a copper-based broadband service via ADSL or FTTC (often mis-named as fibre broadband or superfast broadband). The use of copper has been proven over time to be unreliable as a method to transmit data. Generally speaking, the longer the cable, the worse the signal
