What is Fibre and how does it work?

We live in a world where technological jargon gets thrown at us every day and it’s always changing.  So you could be forgiven for hearing about fibre or full fibre broadband and feeling a bit confused. But give us a few minutes and we’ll explain it all.  

Here’s our guide to fibre broadband and why you, and everyone else, need it. 

What is fibre broadband? 

Fibre broadband is a type of high-speed broadband that offers much faster speeds than the kind we’ve all been used to so far. That’s what we love about it, and we know you will too. 

At G.Network, we offer full fibre broadband, which is delivered solely by fibre optic cables into your home or workplace. This is different to fibre broadband offered by some other providers, who may still use the older copper cables to connect the phone cabinet on your street with your home, slowing down the speed of the broadband you end up receiving.  

How does fibre work? 

Full fibre broadband brings the internet into your home or workplace through fibre optic cables rather than the older copper ones that are used for other types of broadband. This means you get quicker download and upload speeds and a much more reliable service. Fibre optic cables carry data at the speed of light. That’s how much faster it is than traditional broadband and why we believe Londoners need to switch. 

Do I need unlimited full fibre? 

At G.Network, all our packages include unlimited full fibre broadband. That way, everyone can use the internet seamlessly, without having to worry about a thing.  

Will anything affect my broadband speed? 

Even with fibre broadband there can still be factors that might impact your broadband speed. But when you opt for full fibre, you can expect fast and reliable broadband.  

When we install our brand-new connections into your home or premises, we’ll work with you to ensure you get the best possible speeds.
