![]() ![]() ![]() The installation of this infrastructure and the installation of fibre-optic cables all the way back to the exchange can take a considerable amount of time, and be slowed down by the need to close roads or clear blockages. The photos below show Connectorised Block Terminals in an underground chamber (left) and attached to a telegraph pole (right), all ready for FTTP services to be provisioned. The CBT is connected back to the exchange via fibre-optic cable and has to be installed in your nearby underground chamber or attached to a telegraph pole. If your current telephone service is supplied using overhead cables fed from a telegraph pole, a new fibre-optic cable will be installed between the telegraph pole and your premises alongside the existing telephone cable.īefore an FTTP installation can take place to your premises, there must be a nearby fibre connection point – known as a Connectorised Block Terminal (CBT). So, if your current telephone service is supplied using underground cables, a fibre-optic cable will be installed between a nearby underground chamber and your premises. In general, fibre-optic cables will be installed along the same route used by existing telephone cables. These fibre-optic cables can be installed underground in ducts or overhead using telegraph poles. With FTTP, broadband is carried all the way between your premises and your telephone exchange by fibre-optic cable. ![]() As shown, installation is usually relatively quick and straightforward.īefore FTTP can be installed to your premises, it has to be made available in your local area with a Connectorised Block Terminal (CBT) available nearby FTTP is without question the best technology to deliver broadband since it offers the best speeds and reliability and lowest latency of all available technologies. To mark the availability of full-fibre Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) in our local area, here is a similar guide for FTTP. This was produced when Fibre-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC) services were first introduced in our local area as part of the Connecting Cambridgeshire roll-out programme. Back in December 2013, we created the guide What’s Involved in a Fibre Broadband Customer Installation, which has proved very popular over the years. ![]()
