Router Requirements

A key aspect of upgrading to Full Fibre broadband is ensuring you have the right router. Full Fibre connections involve fibre-optic cables running directly into your home, delivering higher speeds and more consistent connectivity than traditional broadband. To fully benefit from these improvements, you'll need a router capable of handling the high data rates associated with fibre-optic technology.

Fortunately, most service providers include a new router as part of the installation process for Full Fibre broadband. This router is specifically designed to accommodate faster speeds and increased data load, ensuring you get the best possible performance. It’s generally advisable to use the router provided by your service provider, as it will be configured to work seamlessly with their fibre network.

Phone System Adjustments

If you’re using an older telephone system, you might need to make some changes. Traditional landline phones operate over the copper telephone network, while Full Fibre broadband uses Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) for phone calls. VoIP technology transmits voice data over the internet, so older phones that aren’t VoIP-compatible may not function with the new system.

Upgrading to a VoIP-compatible phone is a straightforward solution. These modern phones are designed to work with Full Fibre broadband and will integrate smoothly with your new system. While the basic operation of your phone will remain the same, the way it connects and transmits data will be updated to align with the new VoIP technology.

Why Upgrade to Full Fibre?

Switching to Full Fibre broadband offers several advantages over older technologies. As mentioned, traditional setups rely on copper cables for the final stretch, whereas Full Fibre uses fibre-optic cables all the way to your home.

This upgrade means you get faster speeds and a more reliable connection. With Full Fibre, you can enjoy smooth streaming, lag-free gaming, and seamless remote work without the slowdowns common with older systems. Another key benefit is stability. Full Fibre is less affected by interference, leading to a steadier connection.
