Broadband

Full fibre broadband, also known as fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP), is a high-performance internet solution that delivers ultra-fast, reliable connectivity directly to your charity’s premises using fibre optic cables—right from the provider to your building.

Unlike older broadband services that rely on slower copper wiring, full fibre enables symmetrical speeds, making it ideal for charities running cloud-based systems, video calls with beneficiaries or funders, and sharing large files across teams. It also supports hosted VoIP phone systems with ease, helping you stay connected and deliver services efficiently—whether you’re working from an office or remotely.

In January 2027, Openreach will disconnect the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), meaning all UK organisations—including charities—will need to switch to digital solutions like full fibre broadband (FTTP) to avoid a complete communications blackout.

Making the switch to full fibre doesn’t just prepare your charity for the PSTN Switch Off—it also brings a range of benefits, including faster internet speeds, more reliable connections, and the ability to support essential tools like cloud services and VoIP phone systems. It’s a smart step toward future-proofing your charity’s operations and service delivery.

Why Full Fibre Broadband (FTTP) Is a Smart Choice for Charities

• High Speeds: FTTP provides ultra-fast internet, enabling smooth video calls with funders, instant uploads of campaign content, and efficient use of cloud platforms—essential for busy charity teams.

• Low Latency: With fibre transmitting data at the speed of light, you’ll experience minimal delay—ideal for real-time collaboration and service delivery.

• Reliability: Fibre optic connections are more stable and resistant to interference, helping your charity stay online and connected, even during poor weather.

• Scalability: As your charity grows and adopts new digital tools, FTTP can scale with you, supporting higher data demands and future technologies.

• Symmetrical Speeds: Enjoy equally fast upload and download speeds—perfect for video conferencing, sharing large files, and securely backing up sensitive data to the cloud.

Switching to full fibre is more than just a tech upgrade—it’s an investment in your charity’s resilience, efficiency, and long-term impact.
