BT Fibre Checker – Full Fibre Postcode Availability in the UK

BT Fibre Services Explained

BT Fibre services are delivered by a fibre optic cable to your nearest telephone exchange. From there the signal is transferred and supplied to customers homes via a traditional copper landline. This explains why many services still require you to have a landline as part of the product. The price of this is included in monthly subscription prices (*unless otherwise stated).

BT are one of the first to offer a landline service as optional with Fibre. If you don’t order your Fibre Broadband with a landline then you are unable to add a call plan. This may suit some customers. However, your Fibre service is still supplied via a traditional line. This just means that your line is for the sole purpose of the supplying your broadband and cannot be used as a telephone line as well.

It is worth noting that all BT Fibre Broadband services come with unlimited monthly allowance.

BT Fibre Essential

The Fibre Essential service is the BT’s entry level Fibre product with average download speeds of 36mb (9mb upload). Essential is more than twice as fast as traditional broadband and is ideal for customers looking for a day-to-day service than can handle more than standard broadband. Good for streaming on one or two devices in not so busy households.

BT Fibre 1

Step up to 50mb download speeds (9mb upload) with BT Fibre 1. Supplying greater speeds for those households with moderate usage and a few devices connected simultaneously.

BT Fibre 2

For those looking for some extra headroom with busier homes online should consider BT’s Fibre 2 service. This gives you an average speed of 67mb download (16mb upload). Ideal for multiple use of online gaming, streaming and downloads.

BT Full Fibre Services – FTTP

BT Full Fibre (or FTTP – meaning Fibre-to-the-premises) leaps forward at lightning speeds in comparison to the Fibre services above. Full Fibre delivers your broadband connection direct from BT’s Exchange to your home with a fibre optic cable – no traditional line is used or needed. Currently and depending where you live – BT Fibre Ultrafast services operate at up to 900mb, giving the future in inline connectivity and ready for ‘smart houses’, instantaneous connections and streaming with zero concernS for latency or capacity.
