Full fibre is sometimes called FTTP (fibre to the premises). Using next generation technology, full fibre connects straight to your home so you don’t need a phone line. The 'full' bit in full fibre means your connection uses 100% fibre optic cables direct to your door. So you get the UK’s most reliable broadband with ultrafast speeds up to 900Mb.
It’s so new it’s not available everywhere just yet, but the great news is you’re one of our lucky customers who can upgrade to full fibre right now!
We'll arrange an Openreach engineer to visit your home to set up your connection.
We'll need to install two Full Fibre boxes, one inside and the other outside your home. The small box we'll fit in your home is an Openreach box called an ONT (Optical Network Terminal). This box needs to be close to your router and they'll both need to be near a plug socket.
To connect the Full Fibre boxes and cables we'll need to drill through your wall from the outside of your property. Someone over the age of 18 will need to be at home on the day we activate your service.
It usually takes a couple of hours to get you set up and the engineer will finish up by testing your connection using one of your preferred devices. That's it. You'll be good to go and can start enjoying your game-changing, reliable, ultrafast Full Fibre.
Plusnet Full Fibre is a broadband only package. Using new technology, there’s no phone line needed to set up your connection. This means we’ll disconnect your phone line and:
- You’ll lose your home phone number and your home phone service won’t work.
- You won’t be able to make or receive calls, including to emergency services.
- Personal alarms and any other services connected to your home phone will no longer work.
Phone lines will be switched off in the future as part of the Openreach national network upgrades. If you’d like to chat about digital phone services which may be available to you, call us on 0330 1239 123.
The technology that powers landline telephones in the UK will be phased out by Openreach from 2023 and will be completely switched off in 2027. With the increased use of mobile phone devices and internet video calling, traditional phone line usage is in decline.
At the same time, Openreach are investing in new broadband systems and connections using the latest fibre optic technology, which doesn’t need an old copper-wire landline network.
Changes to phone line and broadband technology will affect all broadband providers, not just Plusnet.
With Full Fibre, you don’t need a phone line to set up your connection, so your broadband’s ready for the future. And you won’t need to pay for a landline phone service you don’t use.
If we need to install a new Full Fibre connection, you’ll need an engineer to visit your premises to get your service set up and activated. This usually takes 3-10 working days. We’ll take care of everything and always aim to get you set up as quickly as we can
Sometimes an Openreach engineer may need to run a few checks or survey your property to see if there’s any additional work required to get your connection set up.
We’ll let you know if they need to do any checks as part of your order. Once these are finished we’ll be in touch to confirm your installation date.
Yes. Full Fibre is a broadband only package, so it doesn’t include a working phone line.
This means services connected to your phone line such as personal alarms, healthcare alarms and emergency pendants will stop working.
If you have a telecare device or personal alarm connected to your phone line, just get in touch and we'll advise on other digital phone options which may be available to you. Call our team on 0330 1239 123.
