BT Fibre To The Home

BT Fibre To The Home

BT Fibre To The Home is also referred to as Full Fibre, FTTP, or Fibre To The Premises, with BT offering three different full-fibre broadband speeds.

You can choose from BT Fibre 100, BT Fibre 250, and BT Full Fibre 900 and is currently available to 20% of UK households. Here is a side by side comparison of all three broadband plans with download and upload speeds and monthly pricing.

Because total fibre might not be available at your address, we suggest looking at BT Fibre 2, which is only £29.99 per month. You can enjoy download speeds of up to 67 Mbps, and new customers get a £90 Reward Mastercard.

Does FTTP Use Optical Fibre?

Yes, fibre optic cables run directly from the exchange to the premises without a cabinet on the street. This direct connection gives you the incredible download speeds available with full fibre.

Openreach hired an additional 2,500 engineers in 2021 to bring even more UK homes online with fibre optic speeds.
