FTTP, FTTx, FTTC and FTTN - we understand these types of fibre optic cables can be confusing to differentiate! Fibre optic cables are like tiny glass wires that supercharge your Internet speed. They offer more bandwidth than copper cables, making your connection lightning-fast. Don't stress about choosing the right type of connection – we've got you covered!

On Friday I installed a #Starlink #Standard as the client's fibre install may take over 3 months for their new build. I took my Starlink #Mini along for the 150 mile journey, tucked under the windscreen, streaming radio and Amazon Music through it as I went. Sound was clear and there were no discernible drops along the A1 and side roads to my destination. Normally I would perform a site survey, but the client had completed the prep, laying in shielded Cat6A from the roof to their rack. Using the Starlink Mini I could quickly see where the best location and antenna orientation for the Standard would be. The speed of the Mini still impresses with a high sample at 160Mbps, averaging 100Mbps. I used the after market Starlink seals on the thick shielded Cat 6A, which fitted perfectly into the Standard antenna. I preconfigured the service for public IP and the AP in bridge mode with a test link into a Teltonika. Performance of the Standard was circa 180Mbps down and 15Mbps Up. The client plugged it into their Fortinet WAN and after some IP config were able to get remote access. Hardly an exciting story, but shows how Starlink is changing business connectivity for new builds, pre fibre and failover connectivity. It also shows how the Mini will become a great survey tool.

More consolidation in the UK Fibre market with Netomnia and Brsk announcing a merger. Not a surprise given the amount of altnets in the market, and a trend that mirrors the MNO landscape of consolidation in order to pursue growth. Will be interesting to see what happens next. #connectivity #networks #merger #investment #innovation #mnos #fibre #business #enterprise #altnet #UK #fibre #property #realestate #growth #telecoms #telecommunications #technology

Fast moving times for the UK’s telco network! This super (and refreshingly positive) article from Fibrenews summarises BT Groups accelerated fibre rollout update and switch-off deadline extension. https://lnkd.in/eGybedxh If you still have a PSTN, ISDN, ADSL, FTTC, GFast or Analogue service listed on your phone bill, the clock is ticking to get the service switched to something more futureproof (and better!)
