Did you know, only 10% of premises across the UK have a full-fibre broadband connection? Full-fibre internet is basically end-to-end fibre-optic connectivity from your nearest exchange all the way to your property. This is a miniscule figure when you consider other European nations have managed to deliver full-fibre connectivity to between 80-90% of homes and workplaces.

The leading political parties in the UK have pledged full-fibre connectivity for all businesses by 2025-2030, which would go a long way to underpinning the day-to-day operations of modern, ambitious companies.

There is a plethora of benefits that full-fibre internet can bring to your business, not least the following:

Zero data restrictions

One of the great benefits of full-fibre connectivity is the lack of data restrictions. With a direct, end-to-end fibre connection to your nearest exchange, your business can harness the biggest bandwidths at no extra cost to you. This is particularly beneficial for firms with high data transmission that normally have to pay extra.

Stable, reliable connectivity

Businesses that require consistent, guaranteed connectivity can rely on full-fibre internet 24/7, 365 days a year. That’s because, unlike standard broadband, full-fibre is not affected by attenuation, be it electrical, meteorological or human interference.

100 times faster than the average UK business broadband connection

Fibre broadband internet is based upon fibre-copper hybrid technology, with the signal attenuating as it moves along the copper cabling. As full-fibre internet does not suffer from such attenuation, not only does this mean the connection is stable it’s also considerably faster too. As the signal strength is consistent from exchange-to-premises, full-fibre can be up to 100 times quicker to operate than a typical broadband office connection.

Improved productivity and creativity

With reliable connections, full-fibre brings greatly enhanced productivity for businesses. With no unforeseen downtime, businesses don’t have to experience poor online services and waste time dealing with poor connectivity that hampers everything from conference calls to file sharing. 

Utilise the capabilities of full-fibre

The vast majority of UK businesses are now working ‘in the cloud’ in some way, shape or form. Software as a Service (SaaS) has become vital for internal communications and data harvesting. Full-fibre connectivity allows businesses to access these cloud-based services at speed on-demand, without connectivity issues or impacting on the premises’ bandwidth.

Full-fibre is impregnable against cyber-attacks

Last but by no means least, full-fibre offers increased security for businesses that handle sensitive data. That’s because full-fibre is impenetrable to cyber-hackers and data thieves, giving you genuine peace of mind.
