What is full fibre broadband and why does it matter for business?

FTTP stands for Fibre to the Premises — a broadband connection where fibre optic cable runs all the way from the exchange to your building. Unlike older FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) connections, which use copper wire for the final stretch to your premises, FTTP delivers full fibre speed and reliability right to your door.

For business, this matters because it's the copper portion of older connections that causes most speed and reliability issues — degrading over distance, affected by weather and prone to faults. Remove the copper, and you remove the weak link.

FTTP delivers faster speeds, more consistent performance and better reliability than any copper-based connection — and as Edinburgh's fibre infrastructure continues to expand, it's increasingly available across the city and surrounding areas.

What business fibre broadband gives you

Fast, consistent speeds

FTTP delivers the speeds you're paying for — consistently, not just at 3am when nobody's using the internet. Upload speeds in particular are significantly faster than older connections, which matters for businesses using cloud storage, video conferencing, VoIP and online backups.

More reliable than copper

Fibre optic cables are less susceptible to interference, weather and distance degradation than copper. For Edinburgh businesses, this means fewer outages, fewer slowdowns and a connection that behaves the same in January as it does in July.

Service level agreement

Business broadband from BT comes with a service level agreement — a commitment to fault resolution times that consumer packages don't offer. If something goes wrong, there's a contractual obligation to fix it within a defined timeframe, with engineer priority over residential lines.

Static IP address

A static IP address is included as standard on BT business broadband — essential for businesses running servers, remote access systems, VoIP phone systems or security cameras that need a fixed, predictable IP address.

Who it suits

Is business fibre broadband right for your Edinburgh business?

Business fibre broadband is the right choice for most Edinburgh SMEs — it hits the sweet spot between cost and capability for businesses that need reliable, fast internet without the cost of a dedicated leased line.

It works particularly well for businesses of one to fifty staff using the internet for day-to-day operations — cloud applications, video calls, file sharing, VoIP phone systems, online payments and general web use. If your business has grown beyond a single person and you're still on a consumer package or an ageing ADSL connection, upgrading to business fibre will make a noticeable difference to day-to-day productivity.

If your business needs guaranteed speeds, symmetrical upload and download, or a formal uptime SLA with financial remedies for downtime, a dedicated leased line is likely the better fit.

Business fibre broadband questions

Is full fibre (FTTP) available at my Edinburgh premises?

+

FTTP availability depends on your specific postcode and the infrastructure BT has deployed in your area. Edinburgh's coverage is expanding rapidly but is not yet universal. We'll check availability at your address as part of the quoting process — and if FTTP isn't available yet, we'll tell you what is and when full fibre is expected in your area.

How fast is business fibre broadband?

+

BT business FTTP packages are available at various speed tiers — typically ranging from around 100Mbps to 900Mbps download, with upload speeds significantly faster than older connections. The right speed depends on how many staff you have and what you use the internet for. We'll recommend the appropriate tier for your actual usage rather than upselling capacity you won't use.

How long does installation take?

+

Installation lead times vary depending on whether your premises already has a fibre connection in place. Where fibre infrastructure is already present, installation can often be completed within two weeks. New build connections or premises requiring external infrastructure work take longer. We'll give you a realistic installation timeline when we confirm availability at your address.

Can I keep my existing broadband running during the switchover?

+

Yes — we manage the transition so your existing connection stays live until the new one is confirmed working. There should be no period where your business is without internet access during a properly managed broadband migration.
