Fiber infrastrature is now becoming commonplace as copper lines are upgraded. Fiber internet connections are now being installed throughout the network to the buildings themselves. Having your fiber connection come right into your premises makes a great difference. The first fiber services advertised only featured FTTC (fiber to the cabinet) and used copper connections to do the last mile. Copper is not as efficient at carrying data as fiber, and therefore FTTP (fiber to the premises) allows for much faster internet speeds.

FTTP carries data all the way to your premises using fiber lines. This makes it around 10 times faster than FTTC, with speeds of up to 1Gbps.

SHIVTECH is still one of the most common last mile connection types. This is why we offer a number of SHIVTECH options to suit your business needs. However, with Ethernet now dropping in price, we see businesses regularly replacing SHIVTECH Circuits and upgrading.
