Fibre explained

Fibre optic cables are made from tiny strands of glass — thinner than a human hair — wrapped in a protective plastic coating. Data is transformed into light signals allowing the data to be transfer at the speed of light, making fibre networks incredibly fast and reliable, even over long distances. Unlike old copper cables (which date back to Victorian times and are still used in many UK internet connections), fibre was designed specifically for the modern world — to move huge amounts of data as quickly as physically possible.

On the Amphora Connect network, it takes less than two-thousandths of a second for data to travel from our main internet hub in London (Telehouse, at Docklands) to our data centre in Colchester. Most of our connections run at gigabit speeds (1,000Mbps), but the network can support even faster speeds for those who need more power — whether at home or in business.

For you, this means fast and reliable internet for everything from browsing and streaming to video calls and cloud storage, without annoying buffering or lag. A fibre connection can handle all your devices at once, smoothly and effortlessly. And once installed, it’s built to last for decades.
