question about fttp

[iaqi]

whats the difference about fttp in different providers? for example like how come community fibre can sell 900 megabits symetrical but openreach only does 900/220 max?

It's a commercial decision. Community Fibre are trying to win new customers over, Openreach are trying to provide acceptable services for their customers to sell to consumers while ensuring there's still a reason to buy leased lines.

Historically consumer broadband is marketed and sold on the headline download speed, as long as OR satisfy the eligibility requirements for any government funding/ultrafast criteria on uplink, why would they care? As already pointed out, it risks eating into the more lucrative market sectors they already have. CF see they have a symmetrical link and utilise it, if they can make it work, then great.
