What is Fiber to the Curb, FTTC?
Fiber to the Curb, FTTC, is different from Fiber to the Home, FTTH, in the sence that it runs not all the way to a home, but to a local platform from which it runs via a traditional copper or coaxial cable to the consumer. This means the last part the data travels to reach a consumer basically is the bottle neck in data transfer capacity. Some telecommunciaton companies are deploying FTTC networks and not FTTH networks. This might look strange to invest so much time in deploying a whole new network, but then leaving a bottle neck. However depolyment costs are high, especially the last yards to a house where e.g. a cable might have to be buried in a garden.
