Our Ethernet services provide high speed, high reliability, links to the internet and between sites with a coverage of approximately 90% of UK business addresses. Speeds from 100Mb/s and above are available.
Installation and monthly costs for Ethernet varies but we are happy to quote for a service at your location, do get in touch with us.
We can also provide and configure our FireBrick FB2900 as a router for the service.
Real fibre, actually to your premises not just the nearest street cabinet. Start with 100Mb/s and add more bandwidth as you need quickly and easily.
Unlike some fibre broadband services you may have seen advertised, the fibre Ethernet service we offer involves a fibre-optic link right in to your business premises. A fibre-optic link offers several advantages over a copper link
Real unlimited use, no fair usage policy or usage charges or usage caps or peak rate slow downs. Predictable costs whatever happens.
Within the selected speed you can transfer data as much as you like, so if you have a 10Mb/s link you can transfer 10Mb/s each way constantly 24 hours a day with no extra charges or fair usage policy coming in to play.
The links to us, or between sites, are un-contended so not shared with anyone else and so will not slow down at peak times.
This really is an unlimited usage service. In some cases we can offer a slightly cheaper service where the links to us are not guaranteed as un-contended, please ask if if you would like a quote for this variant.
Faults on Ethernet circuits are rare, but can happen. An Ethernet circuit from us paired with one of our FTTC or FTTP lines, along with our FireBrick FB2900 router is able to be set up with near-seamless fail-over of your IP addresses in the event of a fault on the Ethernet circuit. Typically failover happens within a few seconds.
We can provide the FireBrick FB2900 and help in it's configuration.
The most common service we offer is internet access, typically starting at 100Mb/s symmetric (both ways at once). This provides a high reliability internet connection with public IP addresses.
The most common service we offer is internet access, typically starting at 10Mb/s symmetric (both ways at once). This provides a high reliability internet connection. Being 10Mb/s uplink as well means you can sensibly host servers or equipment on the end of your link. The fibre link is normally 100Mb/s which allows you to increase from 10Mb/s at short notice.
We can route IP addresses to you as required, or announce your own IP addresses received by BGP. We can also provide provider independent IP address space if you need, and provide equipment and consultancy on BGP routing and firewalls. Whilst 10Mb/s is common, we can provide speeds up to 100Mb/s in 10Mb/s steps, up to 500Mb/s in 100Mb/s steps and 1Gb/s if required.
We can provide multiple independent internet access on a link to you at the same time, each of different speeds if you like, which may make sense if one is dedicated to VoIP to be separated from general internet access. As with our DSL service, we do not block any ports or protocols.
We can also provide site to site access. This means two sites that have the service are connected together at a speed of your choice.
We can also provide site to site access. This means two sites that have the service are connected together at a speed of your choice.
The link between the sites is Ethernet, so allows any protocols or addressing you like. You can have site to site access and internet access at the same time and VLANs are used to separate the traffic on the link to your premises. We can provide multiple site to site paths at the same time if you require (perhaps for separating VoIP traffic, or multiple sites). It does not matter how far apart the sites are, and there are no usage charges for traffic transferred.
We can also provide lower cost dedicated direct site to site links within 25Km at speeds of 100Mb/s, 1Gb/s or 10Gb/s.
Whilst termination equipment would installed by Openreach you will still need a router. We're happy for you to use your own router or we can sell or rent you one of our FireBrick FB2900 routers.
Our Office::1 product provides an alternative high availability Internet access using multiple DSL lines and even 3G backup.
