The Full Fibre future: Why it’s time to upgrade your broadband

Whether you’re working from home, gaming online, or streaming 4K content on multiple devices, the quality of your broadband can make or break your experience.

But here’s the truth: not all “fibre” broadband is created equal. Let’s explore what makes Full Fibre different – and why now is the perfect time to make the switch.

What is Full Fibre broadband?

Full Fibre – also known as FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) – uses fibre optic cables all the way from the exchange to your home. This means:

• Faster speeds (up to 900Mb with Grain)
• Lower latency
• No copper bottlenecks 
• Greater reliability 
  

By contrast, partial fibre systems like FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) rely on copper wires for the final leg. That’s where speeds drop and buffering begins. 

Why upgrade now?

The UK is in the middle of a Full Fibre rollout, and copper networks are due to be phased out by the end of 2025. That means: 

• Better availability than ever 
• Future-proof infrastructure 
• Better home resale value in Full Fibre areas 

So, stay ahead of the curve, and upgrade today.

How Full Fibre improves everyday life

Whether you’re online for work or play, Full Fibre makes a difference: 

• Video calls: No freezing or stuttering – even with multiple people online.
• Streaming: Buffer-free Netflix, YouTube and UHD content.
• Smart homes: Supports doorbells, cameras, voice assistants and more – all at once.
• Gaming: Lower ping, faster downloads, real-time performance.

Already have fibre? Here’s why you may still want to switch:

Even if you’re on “fibre broadband” already, there’s a good chance it’s still FTTC – meaning you’re not getting the full benefit.

Ask your provider:

• Do I have FTTP or FTTC?
• What are my upload speeds? (If they’re not symmetrical, you could do better)
• Will my price go up during the contract term?

Then compare it to Grain – where Full Fibre, symmetrical speeds and fixed price contracts are the standard.

The internet isn’t slowing down – and your broadband shouldn’t either. Full Fibre is the fastest, fairest and most future-ready choice for modern homes.
