Product Information

However, as widespread as this connectivity is, ADSL can be unreliable in terms of broadband speed. Copper lines can only transmit so much data (much less than fibre), which in turn limits the speed you can get.

There are two main types of broadband to choose from; ADSL and cable broadband. Here we will look at the differences to help you understand which type may be right for your business. ADSL Fibre broadband is faster and more reliable than standard ADSL internet and is delivered to homes and businesses through fibre optic cables - hence the name. Pretty much every broadband provider now offers fibre, including BT, Sky and TalkTalk and, as we mentioned earlier, it's now something 97% of homes can access. its twisted pair construction provides some resistance to interference. As the CW1308 cable is essentially the same spec cable is used throughout the whole telephone network, it known to work well. However such a low figure is arguable well within the margin of error (i.e. most broadband lines naturally fluctuate by that much or more) and thus you might be forgiven for not noticing any difference, unless you monitor intensely over a longer period of time (both before and after the cable change). On the other hand you might notice a slight improvement in your connection stats and fewer line errors, which while not huge are still a benefit.On top of that it’s also wise to keep your router and cable as far away from other electronic devices as possible, just to limit the potential harm from any EMI that might find its way into your cable. FTTP is still being rolled out across the UK and coverage is currently said to be with around 37% of households. This figure is increasing each month and year on year (2021-2022) the growth has been quite a sizeable 24%.

A large part of the decision will be based on your location; you must be within 5km of a BT exchange for ADSL and you must be in a cable-enabled area for cable broadband. We are able to advise on the options available to you and your business once we know your location. In the last year more and more providers have been offered super-fast fibre, sometimes called 'Full Fibre' or 'Ultra Fibre'. What it's actually called though is FTTP, or 'Fibre To The Premises', where promised speeds can hit as much as 1Gbps - however, you might have seen these marketed already as 300-900 Mbps. Indeed it’s true, the cable BT bundles with its HH5 kit has been tested and does pass the TR100 tests but that doesn’t mean to say you aren’t losing performance because of it. Similarly Sky Broadband has also told us that they “ use non-twisted cables“. Meanwhile other ISPs, such as TalkTalk, claim to include twisted pair cables with their kit. Some do, some don’t. of 10m for our economy RJ11 cables to avoid problems anything longer would not be recommended. If you are near the limits for receiving Most fibre connections connect to your home via the phone network cabinet in your area (those green boxes you see at the side of the road or on your street somewhere). The fibre comes from the telephone exchange and terminates at the cabinet, with the connection into your home provided by your copper phone line as with ADSL.The BT Home Hub 5 Router comes with a cable which has been tested as being suitable for application. This cable passes the TR100 tests.” But does it really make any difference (twisted vs non-twisted)? Some ISPs have been doing this for years and very few consumers ever seem to notice any directly related problems, although there are usually bigger issues to worry about than the local cable and if the connection itself appears to work then consumers might not always be aware of what they’re missing. Explaining the Twist Cable broadband can also be called Hybrid Fibre-Coaxial (HFC) and connects to the internet via a combination of fibre and coaxial cables. It uses the same infrastructure as a cable TV. Comparison chart Differences For most people the most important part of an ADSL installation and indeed the one that has the biggest potential to impact performance is the the telephone cabling. Clearly the end user has no control over the cabling from the exchange to the entry point of the premises as this is all provided by BT Openworld. However the cable used on the internal telephone extension wiring and the cable used to connect the modem to the ADSL service are the users responsibility and often the biggest cause of connection problems. Using the wrong cable can considerably degrade the performance of ADSL. Responsibility ADSL or experiencing problems this type of cable should be avoided altogether. Non-Twisted Telephone Cable
