What Is Full Fibre Broadband (And Do You Really Need It)?

If you’ve ever squinted at your broadband speed test and wondered, “Is this even real fibre?”, you’re not alone.

Welcome to the world of broadband, where terms get thrown around faster than your Netflix can buffer. There’s fibre. Then full fibre. Then part-fibre-but-we’re-not-telling-you-that fibre. Confused? You should be.

So let’s clear things up, the no-fibs way.

So… what is full fibre?

Let’s put it simply: full fibre (or FTTP – Fibre to the Premises) means you’re getting a fibre optic cable straight from your provider all the way to your home.

No copper wires. No bottlenecks. No pretending.

Compare that to part-fibre (a.k.a. FTTC – Fibre to the Cabinet), which still uses older copper cables for the last stretch to your house. That’s like ordering a high-speed pizza delivery… and the last mile’s on a unicycle.

Why does full fibre matter?

Because speed, reliability, and consistency matter. Especially when:

Everyone’s online at the same time
You’re working from home, Zooming, and uploading big files
You’re gaming competitively and milliseconds matter
You stream in 4K, 8K, or just can’t deal with the spinny loading wheel anymore

With full fibre, your connection is built for the way you live now — and the tech you’ll use tomorrow.

**Do I really need it?**

If you answer “yes” to any of these, full fibre could be your internet soulmate:

You lose signal when someone else streams
You’ve had to switch your video call off ‘cos the screen froze
Your smart home gadgets argue like siblings over Wi-Fi
You’ve ever shouted “WHY IS IT SO SLOW?” and meant it

Let’s be real – full fibre isn’t a luxury anymore. It’s the backbone of a connected home.
