Business Ethernet Networks - Leased Lines

Monday, March 28, 2011 3:48 PM

The need for faster and more reliable internet access from businesses has increased dramatically over the past twelve months in the UK. This demand is driving the price of high availability leased lines and Ethernet circuits down.

We have an aggregated approach to supplying connectivity. We buy access from multiple carriers allowing us to be as flexible as possible with our solutions. This aggregated strategy allows customers to mix and match products from various suppliers which we can bring together in to a single working solution.

Ethernet (Fibre)

Ethernet leased lines are delivered using fibre optic cables all the way in to your premises and offer a guaranteed service. We can deliver speeds from 1mb all the way up to 1gb of guaranteed bandwidth both up and down to your location. The service is installed on an access bearer with 10mb, 100mb or 1gb of capacity, we then partition off the amount of speed you require.

The most common service we sell is 10mb of bandwidth on a 100mb bearer, this guarantees the full 10mb and also gives the option to increase the speed in the future without having to re install the connection as there is the capacity to deliver up to 100mb of access if required. You only pay for the speed you use and do not have to pay for the spare capacity.

The service includes a fully managed router which allows us to monitor and maintain the service 24 hours a day 365 days of the year.

Ethernet First Mile (EFM)

EFM is a high availability guaranteed speed service using a mix of fibre optic and copper cables to your premises. We can deliver speeds from 1mb to 20mb of guaranteed bandwidth to your location.

The service comes in two flavours, a 2 pair service can deliver up to 10mb of up and downstream bandwidth and the 4 pair option can deliver up to 20mb of up and down bandwidth. Because the delivery in to the premises is completed using copper the service has a 35 to 45 working day lead time rather than the standard 65 working days of a fibre based ethernet service.

The service includes a fully managed router which allows us to monitor and maintain the service 24 hours a day 365 days of the year. For any organisation that requires high uptime connectivity to the internet, Ethernet based services should be the product of choice due to the high guaranteed speeds and rigid fix times and service level agreements.
