Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our fibre internet services
Yes. We offer uncapped and unshaped fibre connections that give you full control over your internet requirements. Our contention ratio is far lower than traditional ISPs, and we offer our customers the chance to have dedicated, uncontended data on tap.
Simply put, this is the number of times that an ISP shares the same amount of data with other clients. Typically, fibre ratios are about 10:1, but we are able to reduce this even further to a ratio of 4:1 or even 1:1 in the case of dedicated bandwidth packages.
Fibre network operators are the companies that trench and lay the physical fibre cable in your area. Internet Service Providers such as PCN are the companies that rent the lines from the FNOs and supply you with the Internet service.
PCN makes use of multiple fibre infrastructure providers, so it depends on the infrastructure in your area. If there is already a Fibre internet box on the wall of your property or inside your apartment then it can just be a matter of days.
You will not need to buy anything to get started. PCN provides you with a fully managed free to use router along with everything else you will need.
ADSL is an older technology and therefore less reliable and slower than Fibre Internet. ADSL runs over older copper telephone cables, which are being phased out and will no longer be supported by telephone companies.
No, you do not need a telephone line to get fibre.
