I am planning on purchasing a FTTH/P installation and broadband to my farm and have been searching a lot of plans recently.
If all fibre optic cabling is equal, why do BT and a lot of the other ISP's offer multiple plans which have an array of tiered download and upload speed plans for FTTH/P when technically it uses the exact same fibre optic cabling?
Would they just be throttling the speed I can receive on my FTTH/P connection if I didn't pay for the most expensive plan even though from a technical point of view, there is no reason I shouldn't be able to receive the full bandwidth of my FTTH/P line?
Is there a technical limitation of fibre which explains this bizarre setup or is this how ISP are making their £££?
