Business Broadband offers the highest, most reliable connection speed to your premise, with increased download/upload speeds for all business sizes. The connection only shares bandwidth with other businesses, meaning that you will never compete with residential lines. Business Broadband is available through digital, fibre and ethernet connection, with additional backup and routing options to help future-proof your business.
A digital broadband connection carries data over existing copper phone lines from the exchange, and a high-speed digital ADSL connection to your premises. Digital ADSL provides speeds of up to 24Mbps download and 832Kbps upload. The connection only shares bandwidth with other business users, meaning that your business internet is not affected by home internet connections. This results in faster speeds, enhanced security, and prioritised customer service.
Fibre Broadband is the UK’s superfast broadband connection over fibre optics and can transfer voice and data up to 350Mbps. Fibre optic connectivity is available to approximately 10% of the UK, covering 2.5 million properties. However, BT have announced that they are going to shut down their copper network in their plans to make the UK full-fibre by 2025.
Fibre Broadband can be connected in two ways. Fibre to the Premise or ‘FTTP’ delivers a complete fibre broadband connection directly to a site for increased internet speeds of up to 350Mbps and reliable connection. FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) delivers a fibre connection to the green cabinets located on the street, with a copper network then connecting the cabinet to the premise (sometimes resulting in reduced speeds). FTTP removes the need for a copper-based network in line with BT’s plans to future-proof UK connectivity.
An Ethernet Leased Line is a top-level connectivity product for businesses across the UK and the ultimate connection between your office and the local exchange, delivering high speeds with the strongest reliability. A Leased Line carries your voice and data at consistent, symmetrical upload and download speeds of up to 10GBps, no matter the time of day or location. This allows you to keep your business connected at all times.
Ethernet Broadband can be connected over a short distance to cable cabinets in the street, this is known as Ethernet over Fibre to the Cabinet or ‘EoFTTC’. In standard broadband, the copper line then continues all the way to the exchange, but EoFTTC travels across a shared fibre optic circuit to the exchange, offering internet speeds of up to 76Mbps.
Perfect for businesses awaiting a fibre broadband connection, 4G enabled routers provide superfast connectivity using a 4G business mobile network. The plug and play solution provides instant connectivity with speeds of up to 50Mbps and a range of data options from 50GB to 400GB. All you need is a power supply and your office backup or mobile office is operational immediately.
