One of the most common complaints of broadband customers is that their service doesn't live up to the high speeds promised when they signed up - but this is all set to change with the introduction of fibre broadband in many parts of the UK.
Speed is not the only benefit of FTTP (fibre-to-the-premises) broadband, but is certainly its most talked-about feature. Fibre cables are capable of delivering a significantly higher amount of data than traditional copper lines - up to 2.5 million phone calls simultaneously, compared to just six for copper cables, for example - and many industry experts have asserted that fibre broadband is the most practical and cost-effective method of handling the increasing complexity of websites and other online services over the next decade.
Rather than simply being the next step in broadband delivery speeds - ready to be usurped by another faster, better system in a few years - those interested in upgrading to fibre broadband can rest assured that the technology is 'future safe,' meaning it has the potential to continue delivering ever faster speeds for the foreseeable future. This advanced service doesn't even necessarily have to cost more than a standard broadband connection either, especially as fibre broadband is rolled out to more areas of the UK and the wider world and competition increases among providers to offer the lowest prices and best deals.
Fibre broadband is the ideal solution to keeping up with the latest developments in the online world, and ensuring you will be able to access whatever futuristic content web developers throw at us in the coming years - whether it's 3D holographic websites or advanced online games requiring up to 30 gigabytes per second to run. No previous technology was capable of handling such speeds, making fibre broadband an essential commodity for many households and businesses.
If you're uncertain about making the switch to fibre broadband, think back to when broadband internet first appeared just over a decade ago, and opened up new possibilities when browsing online. Many people today would admit that a fast broadband connection is essential to avoid frustration and allow them to carry out all the activities they desire online, and the same is likely to be true for fibre broadband in the next 10 years.
As the technology becomes more widely available, it will be easier to find lower prices and package deals when bundling fibre broadband with cable TV or phone services and saving more money on your utilities.
