Wifirst fibre: a dedicated solution for businesses
Business fibre throughout Europe, at the best price.
Why install Wifirst fibre ?
Fibre transmits data incredibly fast and offers high bandwidth. In today's world, where a reliable Internet connection is crucial for customer satisfaction and employee productivity, business fibre is the perfect choice for businesses aiming to boost their performance. Simply put, fibre is a major upgrade from ADSL, delivering much better performance and meeting the increasing demands for modern connectivity.
A multi-operator network for best-price business fibre
The Wifirst network offers exceptional reach and reliability by partnering with both major and alternative operators. This diverse network allows Wifirst to choose the best sub-networks based on the site's location, the quality and strength of nearby networks, and cost-effectiveness.
Which business fibre should you pick?
Fibre-to-the-office (FTTO)
FTTO fibre is a fibre used exclusively by your company, with genuine service commitments: guaranteed throughput, symmetrical throughput (upload = download) and guaranteed 4-hour recovery time in the event of failure. It is therefore designed to offer very high availability, as connectivity is critical in a business environment.
Fibre-to-the-premise (FTTP)
Mutualised business fibre is a consumer offer that has been repackaged for businesses. It is known as Business FTTP. Unlike dedicated fibre-to-the-home, this solution is a shared fibre offering for several establishments. Even so, it is capable of delivering high speeds (up to 1 Gbps, depending on operator and eligibility). However, this figure represents the maximum achievable throughput (referred to as "peak throughput").
Sizing your company's business fibre
Sizing is essential. An underestimated bandwidth will generate slowdowns and frustrations. An overestimated throughput will result in unnecessary extra costs. We provide you with methods to help you order your FTTO fibre capacity as accurately as possible.

Frequently asked questions
Find the answers to the questions most frequently asked about our business fibre.
1. What is Business Fiber?
Short answer: Business fiber is a high-speed, stable, and symmetrical Internet connection specifically designed to meet the critical requirements of professional organizations.
Details: Unlike residential offers, business-grade fiber guarantees symmetrical speeds (identical upload and download speeds), ultra-low latency, and contractual Service Level Agreements (SLAs). It is essential for supporting critical workflows: HD video conferencing, hybrid Cloud services, VPNs, ERP/CRM systems, and IP telephony (VoIP).
2. What is the difference between FTTO and Business FTTH?
Short answer: FTTO (Fiber To The Office) is a dedicated point-to-point fiber line, while Business FTTH (Fiber To The Home) is a shared fiber connection on a pooled network.
Technical Comparison:
- FTTO (Dedicated Fiber): 100% guaranteed and unshared bandwidth with a 4-hour Repair Time Guarantee (RTG). This is the gold standard for companies whose operations are entirely dependent on Internet connectivity.
- Business FTTH (Shared Fiber): More cost-effective, offering high asymmetrical speeds, but bandwidth is shared with other subscribers. The repair time is typically between 24 and 48 hours.

3. How much does a business fiber connection cost?
Short answer: The price depends on geographical eligibility, desired speed, and the level of guarantee (FTTO vs. FTTH).
Details:
- Business FTTH: Very affordable (typically between €40 and €80/month), ideal for small businesses or as a backup link.
- Dedicated FTTO: The cost is higher as it includes private infrastructure rental and premium support. Prices usually start around €150 to €200/month for a 100% guaranteed service.
👉 Our experts conduct multi-site eligibility studies to propose the best technological mix for your needs and budget.
4. What are the lead times for business fiber installation?
Short answer: On average, it takes 4 to 12 weeks depending on the complexity of the connection and the type of link.
Details:
- Business FTTH: Fast (2 to 4 weeks) if the building is already connected to the shared network.
- FTTO: Longer (8 to 12 weeks) as it often requires specific civil engineering work to bring a dedicated fiber line to your technical room.
Wifirst manages the entire project: from liaising with infrastructure operators to final deployment and link certification.
5. What are the benefits of Dedicated Business Fiber (FTTO)?
Short answer: Absolute performance, resilience, and ultra-responsive support.
Details:
- Guaranteed Symmetrical Speed: No performance drops, even during peak usage hours.
- High Availability: Option for dual homing (two distinct fiber paths) for total redundancy.
- 4-hour RTG: A contractual commitment to restore service quickly in the event of an incident.
- Security: Isolated infrastructure, ideal for interconnecting sites (SD-WAN, MPLS).
6. What happens in the event of a business fiber outage?
Short answer: Unlike consumer plans, you benefit from priority assistance and a guaranteed fast recovery time.
Wifirst Commitments:

7. Is my company eligible for business fiber?
Short answer: Eligibility depends on your geographical location and the proximity of infrastructure networks.
Details: Our engineers conduct a thorough eligibility study for each site. We determine the technical feasibility for a FTTO (dedicated fiber) or Business FTTH (shared fiber) connection to guarantee the best performance-to-price ratio.
