Warp speed and Beyond..

Forest Hill is one of the first exchanges in the United Kingdom to offer fibre optic broadband from BT. If you are lucky enough to live on one of the streets which has been fitted with Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), you will now be able to achieve speeds of upto 100 MB with BT Infinity.

Some streets, which were among the first to be installed, only offer Fibre to the kerbside cabinet (FTTC) which has maximum speeds of 40MB.
