What is Ethernet over FTTC?
Ethernet over FTTC (EoFTTC) is an entry level Ethernet service provided by using a copper line over the short distance from your business premises to the green cabinets in the street, and then joining the fibre optic circuit to the exchange. With no degradation to performance this allows businesses to enjoy symmetrical speeds of up to 20Mb and to burst up to 76Mb download bandwidth.
It’s a perfect solution for businesses that need reliability and performance. It’s particularly useful as a cost-effective solution for businesses looking for fast data-file transfers or needing to run real-time applications like hosted voice and video. And unlike broadband with lower service level agreements, EoFTTC promises to have you back online within just seven hours in the event of a fault or interruption to service, rather than days or weeks.
What is Ethernet First Mile?
Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) is a Leased Line service delivered using multiple copper telephone lines bundled together in pairs of 2 or 4 lines, to build a single service. A 2 pair service will usually provide up to 10Mb of symmetrical speed, while a 4 pair service will provide up to 20Mb bandwidth. This speed is dependent on the length of the copper, which is defined by the distance between your premises and the exchange.
EFM is a good solution for businesses that are in areas that are not fibre enabled as it provides faster speeds and a more reliable service than a standard residential broadband solution. It also provides inbuilt resilience as, if for whatever reason one of the copper wires fails, there are other lines to continue your Internet service, and although your service will run slower it will still be live until the faulty wire is repaired, which for EFM will be within a 7 hour agreed SLA.
What is Fibre Ethernet?
Fibre Ethernet is an end to end ethernet product which connects your business premises all the way to the Exchange via a dedicated fibre optic cable. It can be delivered with download speeds of up to 10Gb, enabling you to choose the bandwidth that fits the needs for your business at the right time.
Fibre Ethernet is the fastest, most scalable and reliable connection available, and with fix times of only 5 hours is the uncontended champion of connections. It’s an uncontended service, meaning that no one else shares your connection, ever. It’s also highly secure and resilient, so great for businesses where being ‘always on’ is number one on their agenda. Of course, it’s also the most expensive option, but if you think about what being offline could cost you in terms of revenue loss, reputational damage or productivity downtime, it’s also the only option for businesses that where being online is key to their success.
