Introduction
As part of the Wireless Networking & IT Support Blog UK, we explore the latest infrastructure technologies helping UK businesses stay connected. One major upgrade is the move from traditional copper cabling to fibre to the premises (FTTP). At TTS Ltd, we provide full-service fibre installations—from roadside cabinet splicing to in-premises terminations—ensuring a fast, secure, and future-proof connection for both businesses and internet providers.
In this post, we will break down the benefits of FTTP compared to copper cabling, and how our expert team can support your fibre installation from start to finish.
What Is Fibre to the Premises (FTTP)?
FTTP means fibre optic cable runs directly from the local exchange or roadside cabinet, through ducts, right to the business premises. Unlike part-fibre networks (e.g., FTTC), FTTP delivers full-speed fibre with no copper bottlenecks, offering superior performance and reliability.
Benefits of Fibre Over Copper Cabling
1. Faster Speeds and More Bandwidth
Fibre optic cabling provides ultrafast speeds ideal for cloud applications, remote work, video conferencing, and smart building systems. Say goodbye to buffering and bandwidth issues.
2. Improved Network Reliability
Copper cabling is affected by electromagnetic interference and distance limitations. Fibre is immune to such issues, offering a stable and consistent network connection.
3. Scalable and Future-Proof
Fibre infrastructure is built to scale. With FTTP, your business or client site is ready for future upgrades, IoT integration, and evolving bandwidth needs.
4. Low Latency, High Performance
Because fibre uses light to transmit data, it offers minimal latency critical for VoIP, real-time apps, and business communications.
5. Increased Security
Fibre is harder to intercept than copper, reducing the risk of data breaches and network interference.
TTS Ltd’s Fibre Installation Capabilities
TTS Ltd delivers full FTTP installation services across the UK, working with ISPs, MSPs, commercial clients, and framework contractors. Our services include:
Cabinet to Premise Duct Routing
From the roadside fibre cabinet to the customer’s internal network, we manage fibre pull-through, duct tracing, and route clearance.
Fibre Splicing & Termination
Our engineers use precision fusion splicers for clean, low-loss joints and professional finish at racks, wall boxes, or ODFs.
Installation & Testing
All fibre links are tested using calibrated equipment to verify signal strength and compliance, with full test result documentation provided.
End-to-End Project Support
Whether it’s a business upgrade or part of a larger network rollout, we can support planning, civils coordination, and liaison with service providers.
Typical Cost and Timeframe
Every fibre installation is unique. Small-scale projects start around £1,000+VAT, while multi-point or civil-heavy jobs may be higher. We offer free site consultations and no-obligation quotes to ensure full transparency.
Factors that influence cost:
Distance from the cabinet
Ducting conditions
Building entry points
Type of terminations and enclosures required
Conclusion
Fibre to the premises is the gold standard for high-speed, secure, and scalable internet. Whether you’re a business looking to upgrade, or a provider needing a trusted subcontractor, TTS Ltd delivers reliable fibre installation services across the UK.
