Rhydyfelin is the latest area of Wales to benefit from better broadband. Full-fibre broadband, which is much faster and more reliable than traditional copper cables, has been installed in people’s homes by BT. The technology can be up to 100 times faster than traditional ADSL broadband and allows you to stream video, download files and play games at lightning speed – all without any buffering or dropouts.
Rhydyfelin will now benefit from new ultrafast, fully-futureproofed full fibre broadband.
Good news for all Rhydyfelin residents! The village will now benefit from new ultrafast, fully-futureproofed full fibre broadband.
The rollout of full fibre broadband is being rolled out right now, meaning homes have access to better broadband connections than many other parts of the UK.
Companies which use fibre-optic cables to deliver broadband to customers, have been largely restricted to city areas with high-density populations. However, the Welsh Government has committed millions in funding towards rolling out full fibre networks across Wales – so you can be sure that your home or small business will soon be getting connected.
The full fibre network is capable of delivering speeds of up to 10Gbps – but many providers will be offering 1Gbps services to homes and small businesses in Rhydyfelin first!
Fibre-optic cables deliver broadband by sending pulses of light through incredibly thin strands of plastic or glass.
Fibre-optic cables deliver broadband by sending pulses of light through incredibly thin strands of plastic or glass. The light pulses are converted to electrical signals at the other end, which are then sent back down the cable for you to receive.

In traditional fibre broadband, the connection from the cabinet to your home is delivered via copper phone lines.
In traditional fibre broadband, the connection from the cabinet to your home is delivered via copper phone lines. These are slower and less reliable than fibre-optic cables, which means that you may experience issues with slow speeds or outages if you’re in an area prone to interference. The copper network also isn’t able to handle as much data as a fibre-optic one and doesn’t have the same futureproofing capabilities — meaning that it will be harder for BT to upgrade it in years to come.
With full fibre broadband, the cable runs all the way into your home, which means a much faster, more reliable and more futureproof connection.

Unlike traditional copper telephone lines that use wires to transmit data, full-fibre broadband uses light using fibre-optic cables. These optical fibres can carry a lot more information than traditional copper wires. This means that your internet will be faster in both uploads and downloads – up to 20 times faster than standard broadband! We’re talking about speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second for downloading or uploading large files like videos or music files.
Because it uses light instead of electricity to send information along cables, the signal is less prone to interference from electrical sources such as mobile phones and microwaves (which can cause slow down). In addition this makes it less vulnerable to electrical storms so you won’t experience drop outs during bad weather conditions which can happen with copper lines
It also delivers much faster download and upload speeds – with average speeds of 900Mbps but with room for future enhancements.
- Speed is measured in Mbps (megabits per second). This is the amount of data (e.g. videos, photos, music) you can download or upload in a given second.
- Fibre-optic cables are thinner and more flexible than copper cables so can carry more data much faster – up to 900Mbps!
- Futureproofed means that it’s future-proofed for when we want even faster speeds – with room for future enhancements if needed!
Full fibre broadband is now being rolled out across the Rhydyfelin, meaning homes have access to better broadband connections than many other parts of the UK.
Full fibre broadband is expected to be rolled out across the Rhydyfelin, meaning homes have access to better broadband connections than many other parts of the UK.
The technology, which is still relatively new, can improve a number of areas including reliability and speed. Fibre optic cables are able to deliver internet speeds up to 1GBPS which is over 10 times faster than most standard broadband services. This means that you will be able to stream videos and download files at higher speeds without having any issues!
It’s also more futureproof because it uses light signals rather than electric signals like traditional copper wiring does. This allows for greater flexibility as well as having improved security in case anything happens such as lightning strikes or water damage.
Broadband is being improved across the whole of Wales
Broadband is being improved in Wales. Full fibre broadband is being rolled out across the city and will deliver speeds of up to 1Gbps. This is a big improvement on previous broadband speeds which have been around 10Mbps, or megabits per second.
This will be a big improvement for Rhydyfelin as it means faster internet connections and more reliable connections, making it easier for people to do things like video conference with loved ones or use social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter.
Conclusion
Broadband is an essential part of our lives and it’s good to see that the Welsh Government is doing all they can to improve the connectivity of Wales. This news is especially important for Rhydyfelin, which has seen a significant increase in home ownership over recent years as well as new business ventures opening up around its borders. With these improvements being made, we can expect even more investment coming into Rhydyfelin which will lead to further progress!
