Slow FTTP: Difference between revisions

→Things to be aware of
|
FTTP from providers like BT or CityFibre use GPON or XGS-PON technology to run fibre from their core network to your premises. This is a '''shared service''', which means you do not have guaranteed sole use of the bandwidth that your physical connection is provided at. eg, a 1Gb/s connection does not mean that BT or CityFibre guarantee that you will have 1Gb/s throughput. Both BT and CityFibre have figures for the '''guaranteed speed''' which will me much lower than the connection speed.
eg:
*CityFibre 1G = '''70Mb/s'''
*BT 1Gb/s ='''195Mb/s'''
