Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) or SOGEA is a broadband technology that delivers high-speed internet to businesses in the UK. It is a popular option for businesses of all sizes due to its high speeds, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

FTTC works by delivering high-speed internet to a cabinet located near the business. From there, the connection is transmitted over traditional copper telephone lines to the business’s location. This allows businesses to access fast internet speeds without the need for costly and disruptive installation of fibre optic cables.

One of the main benefits of FTTC is its high speeds. With the advent of GFast technology (available in some areas) , businesses can access download speeds of up to 330 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 50 Mbps. These speeds are suitable for a range of business needs, including video conferencing, online collaboration, and streaming video.

FTTC is also a reliable option for businesses. Because the connection is delivered over fibre optic cables to the cabinet, it is less prone to interference and degradation than other types of broadband. This ensures that businesses have a stable and consistent connection.

In terms of cost, FTTC is often more affordable than other broadband options, particularly for businesses located in areas where fibre optic cables are not yet available.

There are a few factors to consider when choosing FTTC for your business. One of the main considerations is the distance between the business and the cabinet. The farther the distance, the slower the speeds may be. It’s also important to consider the needs of your business and choose a plan with sufficient speed and data allowance to meet those needs.
