An OptiComm Fibre Connected Community is a housing estate or commercial precinct that has fibre optic cabling connecting every home and business.  It is sometimes referred to as Fibre-to-the Home (FTTH) or more appropriately Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP), as it delivers also business grade services.

Multiple communication services such as very high speed Broadband (Internet), traditional telephone, Free-to-Air TV (FreeView), Pay TV (Foxtel, FetchTV), security services (alarm monitoring and/or CCTV) and environmental monitoring (utility metering, e.g. Electricity, Gas, Water) are all delivered using a single Fibre Optic cable.  This cable has many thousands times the content carrying capacity compared with the traditional copper cable used by other telephone companies.  With this capacity, it means Fibre Connected Communities will not need to upgrade their telephone, Internet or Cable TV networks for many decades, saving the community and the carrier time, money and disruption.

These FAQs will assist builders to understand their obligations to ensure the homes they are preparing for their clients can be connected to the Fibre infrastructure without extra costs.
