CityFibre is enabling ISP partners to advertise full 1Gbps speed with a new ‘True Gig’ 1.2Gbps wholesale broadband product.
The service overcomes the challenges of advertising Gigabit speed, for which ISPs must prove 50% of their customers get 1Gbps on average at peak times.
Due to the bandwidth overhead required for ISPs to run and monitor a service, a typical 1Gbps wholesale service must therefore be advertised to consumers at slower speeds, typically 900Mbps.
Increasing the wholesale speed to 1.2Gbps, helps ISP partners to promise a full 1Gbps service if their own backhaul arrangements and in-premises equipment also supports this.
Dan Ramsay, CMO at CityFibre said: “This will give IPS the confidence to advertise their services as Gigabit Speed and will encourage even more people to join the full fibre revolution.”
