Why You Might Need a Fibre Shift
When your fibre broadband connection isn’t in the right place, it can have a big impact on your WiFi speed, reliability, and even the look of your home. When your fibre is installed, the placement is often determined by external factors, such as the easiest point of access for the installer or the location of the nearest fibre cabinet. Often, this is the hallway, the garage, or tucked away in a corner that limits connectivity. The good news? A fibre shift can solve these issues and improve your overall broadband experience.
With traditional copper broadband, moving your connection point was relatively straightforward. Copper cables are flexible and easy to reroute, meaning you could often DIY a solution or hire a general electrician to handle it. However, fibre optic cables are a different story.
Why Fibre Placement Matters
Fibre works by transmitting data through light signals, making precision and expertise essential when handling it. Poor placement can lead to weak WiFi coverage, slower speeds, and potential signal loss.
Ideally, your fibre connection should be placed:
- Centrally in your home or office for even WiFi distribution
- Away from interference such as thick walls, electronic devices, and metal objects
- Close to where you use the internet most, like a home office or living space
If your fibre was installed in the wrong location, moving it is not as simple as shifting a copper broadband line. A professional fibre shift is required to ensure the cable is carefully relocated without damage to the delicate fibre strands.
The Benefits of a Fibre Shift
By optimising the position of your fibre connection, you can:
- Improve WiFi coverage. Positioning your router in a central location ensures stronger, more consistent signals throughout your home or office.throughout your home or business
