Fiber To The Home – Your Fast Lane to the Internet

Fiber to the Home (FTTH) is a cutting-edge high-speed internet infrastructure that utilizes 100% fiber-optic cable throughout the entirety of the network, achieving unmatched performance.  

While many communities still rely on copper cable broadband or hybrid connections that mix fiber and cable, these options can’t match the advantages of FTTH.

Tachus stands out by providing users with a 100% fiber-optic connection, delivering blazing-fast speeds, enhanced security and superior bandwidth.

FTTH – Not all Fiber is Equal

A fiber internet connection will always outperform broadband cable, providing faster speeds, greater bandwidth and lower latency.

However, not every fiber internet service is made the same.

While internet service providers can offer their product as “fiber internet,” that doesn’t mean you’re getting a 100% pure fiber to the home connection. 

Oftentimes, ISPs use a mix of fiber-optics and already existing shared-use copper cable infrastructure. So, while you’re paying for fiber internet, your connection is still partially running over copper cable split across multiple properties.

On hybrid fiber-copper connections, you’ll still have to deal with lower bandwidth and less reliable speeds than on 100% pure fiber-optics.

It’s important to understand what type of fiber connection you’re getting when you sign up with a fiber internet provider. 

Unlike our competitors, Tachus offers a 100% pure Fiber to the Home connection, which provides significant high-speed benefits!

Lightning-fast Advantages of Fiber to the Home

Bandwidth

Broadband networks share the connection across multiple properties, so when many users come online simultaneously, speeds can slow to a crawl as bandwidth is eaten up.

FTTH means that the internet you pay for is 100% powered by fiber-optics. With the fiber line connected directly to your home, you will always be able to access the full capacity of your internet plan.

Symmetrical Speeds

A 100% pure fiber connection provides users with the ability to upload and download blazing-fast at the same time. 

Symmetrical speeds are excellent for businesses or users working from home who need consistent speeds to upload large files and connect with clients or customers.

Latency

Fiber internet with Tachus can achieve latency as low as 5ms! Gamers can greatly benefit from this lower latency as it reduces ping and provides a smoother experience for online games.

Security

Shared networks over broadband risk security breaches and privacy concerns more than fiber internet connections. Since fiber utilizes light to transmit data, it makes the signal significantly harder to intercept.

Because of this, many businesses utilize a direct fiber internet connection to protect their data and ensure their connection is secure.

How does FTTH work?

An FTTH connection delivers blazing-fast fiber internet directly to individual properties like your home. 

The connection begins at a central hub that houses the equipment and servers that connect the network to the internet. 

100% pure fiber-optic cables connect from this central location to multiple cabinets throughout the service area. The Tachus network is backed up by a series of standby generators, so if the power goes out, Tachus stays on. 

From these cabinets, fiber lines continue to run throughout the various communities within the service area. These lines are installed throughout the neighborhood’s utility easements, which are located near the users’ homes. 

The network team splices the fiber line throughout the utility easement and installs a “flowerpot.” Finally, when you install your internet, a fiber line is connected from the flowerpot to your home, bringing blazing-fast internet directly to your door.

From the central hub to the cabinet to the flowerpot, to your home, each step of connection utilizes pure fiber optics, creating a 100% fiber-to-the-home network.

FTTH vs. FTTC and FTTN – Why the Difference Matters

While an FTTH Network utilizes fiber optics throughout the entire connection, other fiber network types, such as Fiber to the Curb (FTTC) or Fiber to the Node (FTTN), use a mix of cable technology.

Fiber to the Curb

An FTTC connection uses fiber for most of its infrastructure from the central hub up until the “curb,” meaning a location near your home. The final connection from the curb to the house utilizes traditional copper broadband. 

FTTC connections are often found in older homes where existing copper broadband was installed. While not as impressively fast as a pure FTTH connection, FTTC still provides a faster and more reliable connection than a copper broadband network.

Fiber to the Node

An FTTN connection uses fiber optics from a central hub to a local node or cabinet in a neighborhood. From the node, existing copper cable is used to complete the connection to homes and businesses in the area.

FTTN networks are beneficial to communities with already existing copper broadband infrastructure. However, they can’t match the speeds achieved by 100% FTTH.

Why does FTTH Matter?

Oftentimes, ISPs use an FTTC or FTTN connection for their customers. So, while they advertise their service as fiber internet, it may not be a 100% pure FTTH connection. 

Fiber to the Home is unmatched when it comes to high-speed internet, expansive bandwidth and heightened security.
