Fibre vs Copper
Fibre is the most stable, reliable and high capacity media for data communication. Around the world, it’s replacing the legacy copper networks operated by traditional telcos.
Copper has been at the heart of telecommunications for over 120 years. It’s a testament to the ingenuity of telco engineers that its data capacity has been pushed to DSL2 speeds, but copper is rapidly reaching its maximum potential.
But where copper stops, fibre starts. Fibre gives you a “true bandwidth” connection. If you buy a 10Mbit/s EPL connection, for example, 10Mbit/s is exactly what you’ll get, 24/7. It doesn’t matter how far away from the exchange you are, or how busy the network becomes - you’ll be getting a rock-steady 10Mbit/s in both directions.
Of course, most copper-based network suppliers use fibre as their network backbone. But they’re stuck with copper for the “last mile” of their network. So with that bottleneck in place, it doesn’t matter that there’s a high capacity network behind the scenes. Your connection - and your business - is limited to what you can squeeze through the copper link.
The VectorFibre network has no copper component. We run fibre all the way to your door, giving you access to the full potential of the fibre network. This means virtually no congestion, contention or limitations to capacity. The bandwidth you buy is the bandwidth you can rely on, all the time.
