Gigabit-capable connectivity — delivered straight to your premises
If your business relies on cloud applications, video conferencing, VoIP calls or large file transfers, standard broadband may be holding you back. FTTP — Fibre to the Premises — removes that bottleneck entirely.
Unlike standard fibre broadband, which uses copper wire for the final stretch from the street cabinet to your building, FTTP runs a full fibre optic cable directly to your premises. The result is dramatically faster speeds, symmetrical upload and download, and a far more consistent, reliable connection — even during peak hours when other connections slow down.
Microcare delivers FTTP broadband to business premises across the UK with speeds from 100Mb up to 1Gbps. Whether you’re upgrading from standard broadband or installing connectivity in a new office, FTTP is the smart, future-proof choice.
Dramatically faster speeds: Downloads and uploads at speeds up to 1Gbps — approximately 10 times faster than standard business broadband. Your whole team can work at full capacity simultaneously without any slowdown.
Symmetrical upload and download: Unlike standard broadband where upload speeds are a fraction of download, FTTP delivers the same speed both ways. Essential for video conferencing, cloud backups, VoIP calls and uploading large files.
Consistent performance at peak times: Full fibre is far less susceptible to congestion than copper-based connections. You get consistent speeds throughout the day — not just in the early morning before everyone else logs on.
Unlimited data as standard: No data caps, no throttling, no overage charges. Run cloud applications, stream video, make VoIP calls and transfer large files without any restrictions on usage.
Future-proof your connectivity: As your business grows and your data demands increase, FTTP scales with you. The full fibre infrastructure is capable of delivering speeds well beyond 1Gbps as technology develops — you won’t need to change your connection type again.
PSTN switch-off ready: Full fibre FTTP is an all-IP connection — no copper voice line required. It’s fully compatible with cloud phone systems, SIP trunking and Microsoft Teams calling, making it the ideal connectivity foundation for a modern, post-switch-off business.
FTTP Features
Full Fibre to the Premises
A dedicated fibre optic cable runs directly from the ITS network to your building — no copper anywhere in the connection. The result is lower latency, higher reliability and speeds that don't degrade based on your distance from a street cabinet.
Symmetrical Speeds
All three FTTP plans deliver the same speed for uploads and downloads — 100Mb, 500Mb or 1Gbps both ways. This makes a significant difference for businesses using cloud storage, VoIP, video conferencing or remote access systems.
Gigabit-Capable Network
Delivered over next-generation XGS-PON full fibre infrastructure designed specifically for business connectivity — not adapted from a residential product — with nationwide coverage and consistent, reliable performance.
Unlimited Data
No caps, no fair use restrictions, no throttling. Your team can use bandwidth-intensive applications without worrying about usage limits or unexpected charges.
Low Latency
Full fibre delivers significantly lower latency than copper-based connections — meaning faster response times for cloud applications, video calls, VoIP and real-time data. Less lag, more productivity.
Enhanced Resilience
Fibre optic cables are immune to electrical interference from heating, ventilation and other equipment — and are significantly harder to tap into than copper. More reliable, more secure, more consistent.
Priority Fault Handling
Business FTTP customers receive priority fault repair — meaning faster diagnosis and resolution times if an issue occurs on the line. Microcare liaises with ITS on your behalf to get you back online as quickly as possible.
UK-Based Technical Support
Our UK-based support team is available 24/7/365. If you experience any issues with your connection, we'll log, diagnose and resolve the fault fast — no overseas call centres, no automated systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) means a full fibre optic cable runs directly to your building. Standard business broadband (FTTC — Fibre to the Cabinet) uses fibre to the street cabinet, then copper wire for the final stretch to your premises. That copper section limits speeds and introduces interference. FTTP eliminates it entirely — delivering faster, more consistent and more reliable connectivity.
Microcare offers FTTP at three speeds: 100Mb, 500Mb and 1Gbps — all symmetrical, meaning the same speed for both uploads and downloads. The right plan depends on your team size, the applications you use and your overall bandwidth requirements. We can advise on the best option before you commit.
Symmetrical means your upload speed matches your download speed. Standard broadband typically delivers much slower upload speeds — which becomes a bottleneck for businesses using cloud backup, video conferencing, VoIP calls or uploading large files. With FTTP, both directions are equally fast.
FTTP availability varies by location and is expanding rapidly across the UK. Microcare can check availability at your specific address before you proceed — just get in touch with your postcode and we’ll confirm whether full fibre is available and what speeds you can expect.
FTTP installation typically takes 2–4 weeks from order placement to go-live, depending on your location and whether any additional civil works are required. Microcare manages the entire process and will keep you informed at every stage. An engineer visit to your premises is required to complete the installation.
No. All FTTP plans include completely unlimited data with no caps, no fair use restrictions and no throttling — whatever your team’s usage demands.
Yes — FTTP is the ideal connectivity foundation for VoIP and cloud phone systems. The low latency, symmetrical speeds and consistent performance of full fibre dramatically improve call quality compared to copper-based broadband. Microcare can supply both your FTTP connection and your phone system, ensuring they’re configured to work together optimally.
The £150 installation charge covers the engineer visit required to connect the fibre cable to your premises. This is a one-off cost paid at the time of installation. It covers physical infrastructure work that may include running cable into your building and installing the optical network terminal (ONT) device that connects your router to the fibre network.
Contact our UK-based support team — available 24/7/365 — and we’ll log and investigate the fault immediately. As a business customer, you receive priority fault handling. Microcare liaises directly with ITS Technology Group’s network operations team on your behalf to diagnose and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Yes. Fibre optic cables transmit data as light rather than electrical signals, making them significantly harder to intercept than copper cables. They’re also immune to electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment. For businesses handling sensitive data, FTTP offers a more secure physical connection than copper-based alternatives
