SOGEA

There’s lots of changes happening with broadband and traditional landline technology. SoGEA is a new type of broadband connection which will help you take the next steps to a digital future. Most important thing to remember about SoGEA, it doesn’t need a landline to set up your connection. The exchange is connected to your local street cabinet by fibre optic cable – however, your home is connected to the local street cabinet via copper cables.

FTTC

Fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) broadband, also sometimes called superfast broadband, is an improvement on the standard speeds offered by the full copper connection. The exchange is connected to your local street cabinet by fibre optic cable – however, your home is connected to the local street cabinet via copper cables, but this is not true fibre optic broadband. While FTTC is technically faster than ADSL, it has weaknesses:

  • This still carries an analogue phone number

  • Fibre optics are less susceptible to signal loss than ADSL.

  • Much faster download speeds than ADSL.

  • The copper connection is still vulnerable to damage, interference, and signal deterioration.

FTTP

The latest innovation in internet technology is a fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) connection, providing ultrafast speeds. FTTP broadband is a step up from standard ADSL broadband and superfast broadband. Unlike its predecessors, this system does not use copper cables at any point in the connection – instead using fibre optics along the entire route. This provides:

  • Very little signal loss.

  • Average download speeds up to 900Mbps.

  • The most reliable connection ever achieved.

  • No need for a home phone line, so no unnecessary line rental fees.

FTTP broadband provider the very best in fixed line broadband. It provides the fastest fibre broadband speeds, up to 900Mbps, and is available in a range of broadband packages - so you can choose the right speed for you.
