FTTH

Meaning

FTTH stands for fibre to the home: a network in which optical fibre runs all the way into the home or flat. This differs from FTTB, where fibre stops at the building, and FTTC, where it stops at a street cabinet and another cable covers the rest. Providers sometimes use the word fibre loosely for any of these, so ask which one applies at your address. FTTH means the final stretch is glass too, with no switch to older wiring.
