Connectivity is often considered the fourth utility in modern business, as vital to its running as water, electricity and gas – make sure you have the best.
Leased Line
A leased line provides a dedicated, synchronous, fibre-optic connection to the internet with guaranteed bandwidths and guaranteed services levels. Not to be confused with fibre broadband, this is the best type of internet connection for businesses and is ideal for unified communications.
– Highest quality
– 99.9% availability
– 5-hour fix guarantee
EoFTTC
Ethernet-Over-Fibre-To-The-Cabinet uses fibre broadband technology to provide an enhanced, business-grade internet service. It is un-contended, meaning bandwidth is unaffected by the peak usage times of residential broadband users and has a better service level than standard FTTC.
– Uncontended
– Enhanced SLA
– Ethernet based
EFM
Ethernet-First-Mile is an access method that delivers Ethernet protocols over normal telephone copper wiring. It is primarily used by companies who are located in areas not serviced by fibre broadband who can’t justify the cost of a fibre leased line.
– Uncontended
– Synchronous
– Fixed bandwidth
FTTP
Fibre-To-The-Premises delivers fibre directly into your building, bringing speeds of up to 1Gb download and 115Mb upload. It is still a broadband service, and therefore is contended, with restricted SLA’s but does offer a much lower cost, high bandwidth alternative to leased lines.
– Lower cost
– High bandwidth
– More stability than copper based broadband
FTTC
Fibre-To-The-Cabinet or fibre broadband is a low-cost connection with higher bandwidths than standard broadband. The service is delivered over a fibre-optic cable to the local cabinet and then copper for the final few hundred metres meaning speeds of up to 80Mb download and 20Mb upload are possible.
– Much lower cost
– Much higher upload than standard broadband
– Good choice for small businesses
Broadband
The basic type of internet connection delivered over a standard analogue line. Offering reasonable speeds for a few people to use for web browsing and email but it isn’t really suitable for voice services. Widely available and with speeds of up to 24Mb download and 1Mb upload, it is a low-cost option where nothing else is available.
– Wide availability
– Low cost
– Basic connection
