A pro optical fibre, yes, but which one?

Let's look at the differences between business fibre and the other usual ways of providing Internet access.

Dedicated fibre for business (FTTO)

FTTO fibre is a fibre used only by your business, with genuine service commitments: guaranteed throughput, symmetrical throughput (upload = download) and a guaranteed 4-hour recovery time in the event of failure. It is therefore designed to offer very high availability, as connectivity is critical in a business environment.

Shared fibre for business (FTTH Pro)

Shared fibre-to-the-home is a consumer offering that has been repackaged for businesses. It is known as FTTH Pro. Unlike dedicated fibre-to-the-home, this is a pooled fibre offering shared between several establishments. It is still capable of delivering high speeds (up to 1 Gbps depending on operators and eligibility). However, this figure represents the maximum achievable throughput (referred to as "peak throughput").

Right-sizing your company's fibre optics 

The question of sizing is essential. An underestimated throughput will generate slowdowns and frustrations. An overestimated throughput will result in unnecessary extra costs. We provide you with methods to help you order your FTTO fibre capacity as accurately as possible.

Frequently asked questions

Find the answers to the most frequently asked questions about fibre optics pro.

Why switch to optic fibre?

Switching to fibre optics for business has a number of advantages for companies and establishments catering to the public.

  1. High speed and bandwidth : Fibre optics offer much higher connection speeds than traditional connections, enabling faster data transfer. This is essential for businesses that need to download and share large files, manage data-intensive applications and ensure a smooth user experience.
  2. Reliability : Fibre-optic connections are renowned for their reliability. They are less subject to disruption from electromagnetic interference, bad weather and hardware failure. This ensures stable and constant connectivity, which is essential for critical business operations.
  3. Low latency : Fibre optics offer significantly lower latency than traditional technologies, which is essential for real-time applications such as videoconferencing, online financial transactions and online gaming.
  4. Increased security : Fibre optics are difficult to hack because they do not radiate electromagnetic signals that hackers could intercept. This increases the security of sensitive company data.
  5. Scalability : Fibre-optic networks are easily scalable to meet your company's growth needs. You can increase bandwidth without having to replace the existing infrastructure.
  6. Support for advanced applications : Optical fibre is needed to support advanced applications such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, high-quality VoIP telephony and cloud computing, which are increasingly common in business environments.

In short, switching to business fibre optics improves productivity, security, flexibility and competitiveness, enabling businesses to take full advantage of advanced digital technologies and adapt to changing connectivity needs.

Why is FTTO more expensive than FTTH?

The difference in cost between FTTH and FTTO fibres is linked to the level of service you will receive. The FTTO offer guarantees throughput, which means you can cope with surges in traffic at peak times in hotels and student residences, for example. In the event of a technical problem, we also undertake to get your installation back up and running within a few hours. These two features make FTTO fibre an essential ally for businesses with high connectivity needs.

What should I do if my site isn't eligible for fibre optics?

If the speed requirement is not too demanding, Wifirst is able to aggregate several ADSL lines in order to offer an acceptable speed. This is limited to certain cases and does not make it possible to take full advantage of the quality standards of the infrastructure deployed by Wifirst.

A 4G/5G or satellite connection may also be considered. These options may represent relevant alternatives for certain customers.

What are the advantages of a symmetrical speeds?

Traditional Internet access packages generally offer much higher download speeds than upload speeds. However, for certain uses, a high upload speed is necessary. This is particularly the case for videoconferencing, IP telephony, cloud computing and any other application that requires data to be sent.

Does the quality of a WiFi network depend on optical fibre?

A WiFi infrastructure can be optimised to maximise performance but will always depend on the line speed. As a result, a limited bandwidth will always represent the biggest obstacle to a quality WiFi service in a configuration with demanding connectivity requirements. Optical fibre, and more specifically dedicated fibre, is therefore strongly recommended for powering a wireless infrastructure.
