Fibre

How Fibre Works

  • What Is Fibre?

    Fibre internet is a broadband connection that uses fibre-optic cables to deliver data. These cables transmit information as light signals, allowing for much faster and more stable internet compared to older technologies like ADSL or copper lines.

    How It Works

    Fibre-optic cables are made up of very thin strands of glass or plastic. These strands carry data using pulses of light. Because light travels incredibly fast, fibre can handle large amounts of data at high speeds with very low delay.

    Here's a basic breakdown:

    • Fibre to the Home (FTTH): Fibre cables are laid all the way to your home or complex.

    • Optical Network Terminal (ONT): A small device installed in your home that connects the fibre cable to your router.

    • Your Router: Distributes internet throughout your home via WiFi or Ethernet cables.

    Benefits of Fibre

    • Super Fast Speeds: Perfect for streaming, gaming, and working from home.

    • Reliable Connection: Less affected by weather or distance than copper cables.

    • Low Latency: Ideal for real-time applications like online gaming and video calls.

    • Future-Ready: Can handle growing data needs.

    Did You Know?

    Fibre can deliver speeds of up to 1Gbps , depending on your package and fibre provider.
