ADSL has a national average download speed of 11mbps and runs off the BT Openreach network. Available to around 94% of the UK. Includes a landline service.

FTTC: Fibre-To-The-Cabinet broadband is delivered via clusters of fibre optic cables (each one thinner that a human hair) and speeds are faster than ADSL. FTTC has a national average download speed of 35mbps/63mbps dependent on package. This runs off the BT Openreach network. Includes a landline service. Available to around 94% of the UK.

FTTP: Fibre-To-The-Property broadband, as the name suggests, involves fibre optic cables running directly to your home. It is faster than Fibre-To-The-Cabinet but currently only constitutes a minority of broadband connections. FTTP services can offer speeds of up to 1,000mbps. No landline service. Fibre provided directly into the property not using the copper line, this ensures the speed into your property with little to no variance (speed can fluctuate dependent on router location, etc).
