Fibre to the cabinet or ‘FTTC’ is the tried and tested standard superfast fibre broadband technology that Giant communications, offers to it’s clients. Fibre broadband is sent through fibre optic cables from your nearest telephone exchange, to the green cabinet on your road which is then connected to your business premises over traditional copper lines. The maximum download speed FTTC can deliver is 80 megabits per second with a maximum upload speed of 20 megabits per second.

In terms of technology, we use fibre to the premises (FTTP), which is the latest way Giant can connect your property to our expanding network of broadband connections. This provides our customers the quickest means of connecting to the network. We offer one of the fastest broadband connections in the UK (upto 1 Gigabit per second) through our full fibre broadband service. As FTTP is a relatively new technology, you may have to wait until Openreach has upgraded your local network infrastructure in order to use it.

Business leased lines are the next BIG UPGRADE from FTTC or FTTP business broadband connections. Your internet connection can be carried by a single fibre connection that is uncontended which means you are not sharing your precious broadband connection with others. Leased lines are a top-level premium broaband connectivity product that Giant Communications can offer your company that is backed up by a very attractive S.L.A (Service Level Agreement).
