What is the difference between FTTP, FTTC and ADSL?
FTTP (full fibre) runs fibre all the way to your home and offers gigabit speeds. FTTC ("fibre to the cabinet") runs fibre to the street cabinet and copper for the last leg, typically 30–80 Mbps. ADSL is the legacy copper-only service, capped at around 24 Mbps.
