While both FTTC and FTTP promise high speeds, FTTP’s complete fiber optic connection allows for much higher speeds than FTTC.

This is why it's called FTTC - fibre to the cabinet.

NBN only launched commercial FTTC services in April.

I don’t know whether that was because I have a fast FTTC (Fiber to the Cabinet) What's the Difference Between FTTC and FTTP, and Why Should You Care?

It also has a feature called DLM, or dynamic line management.

For FTTC networks: duct access, sub-loop unbundling and bit-stream access.

Swisscom has already connected 90 per cent of the population to fibre to the curb.

The networks are relatively easy to install and upgrade and are very economically competitive with other known FTTC and FTTH schemes.

A method and apparatus for an in-home communication system based on the use of a telecommunications terminal (110) of a Fiber-to-the-Curb (FTTC) network is described.

In the vast majority of cases, FTTP and FTTC is installed in existing ducts and on existing poles.

FTTX is further categorized to Fiber to the home (FTTH), Fiber to the building (FTTB), and Fiber to the cabinet/curb (FTTC).

An FttH network, an FttC network or a combination of both can be considered a modern efficient NGA network.
