The boffins at Adastral Park, BT’s research & development centre, have been working on a new bendy fibre cable.
Being much more flexible than a traditional cable, “bend insensitive fibre” makes it easier to get fibre into places that we just couldn’t reach before. This in turn is helping us give more people access to a pure fibre connection all the way from the exchange to their property.
Fibre to the premises, as it’s known, provides speeds of 100Mbit/s download and 30Mbit/s upload. But there’s already a 300Mbit/s download speed on the horizon – and rumours of a 1Gbit/s ultrafast variant being developed!
You can see a video of the new fibre being tested at Adastral Park here.
