Highly experienced
With our pedigree and experience in IP, we are well positioned to act as the supplier of choice when it comes to entrusting us to effectively manage high value networks.
The need for access to robust and high bandwidth connectivity is paramount in today’s business market – with this mind we’re embarking on a national Ethernet build-out programme. This allows us to consume Openreach Ethernet access without the need for intermediary suppliers.
Ethernet and the Digital Economy
Given the importance of Ethernet in the evolving digital economy and the role it plays in delivering applications to UK businesses, it’s essential that we are able to provide a competitive and compelling Ethernet service to our customers. The demand for low cost Ethernet is substantial, but this doesn’t mean businesses should sacrifice reliability and robustness. Ethernet is a premium connectivity service designed for business, which means delivering high availability and high bandwidth consistently with a premium support wrap.
We’re building!
We have undertaken a national build-out programme to help us provide not only an extremely price-competitive offer, but one that meets the same quality standards for delivery and support you deserve.
We are extending our core network into BT exchanges where we will consume Ethernet access directly from Openreach, cutting out any intermediary suppliers.
London is our starting point
As London is the largest catchment area for Ethernet sales, we have built a Metro Area Network (MAN). This connects us to 19 of the busiest exchanges and helps us reach businesses in 38,000 postcode areas.
How does this benefit you?
It’s simple – you will have access to one of the most price-competitive Ethernet services in the market. And as there is no intermediary supplier and we own the wavelengths, we have much more control and visibility from order to in-life, enabling us to improve your experience.
