What is it? Fibre To The Cabinet (FTTC) is where fibre optic cable is used to transmit signals between the telephone exchange and the street side telephone cabinet. This can offer much higher speeds - 100 Mbit/s downstream over 24 Mbit/s (the current maximum broadband speed in the UK over copper wire) and much more bandwidth - a single twisted copper pair wire can deal with 6 phone calls, whereas a single fibre pair can deal with 2.5 million phone calls.

This is particularly relevant if your users use IE, which we all know still behaves unexpectedly at times! We spent a long time trying to replicate a bug until someone finally thought to try testing in IE, and it turned out to only occur in this browser because of some interesting GWT event binding behaviour. A lot of time was wasted.
