You’ve seen the ads – “Fibre broadband,” “Superfast speeds,” maybe even “Ultrafast.” But here’s the catch: most of the broadband being sold under those labels isn’t actually Full Fibre. In fact, it’s often only part-fibre – with the final stretch to your home still running over old copper phone lines.
So if your broadband feels sluggish, drops out, or slows down when the whole house is online, it’s probably not your devices – it’s your connection.
Let’s clear things up and show you exactly what Full Fibre is, how it compares to the old part-fibre setups – and why upgrading to Zzoomm could be the smartest switch you make this year.
What is Full Fibre Broadband?
Full Fibre, also known as FTTP (Fibre to the Premises), means fibre-optic cables run all the way into your home – no old copper phone lines involved. That’s a big deal.
With Full Fibre, your internet travels at light speed over fibre-optic glass – straight from our network to your router. It’s ultra-fast, ultra-reliable, and built for modern life: streaming, gaming, video calls, smart tech, working from home – all at once, with no buffering.
What you might actually have: Part-Fibre Broadband
If you’re with a big-name provider and you’ve been sold a “fibre” package – there’s a good chance it’s not Full Fibre at all. It’s more likely FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) – also called part-fibre.
Here’s how it works: Fibre cables run to a green cabinet down your street, but from there, it switches to copper wiring – the same old-school stuff used for landline phones. That copper bit is the problem. It can slow things down, especially the further you live from the cabinet.
