Ethernet - High Speed Internet Access

Fibre Ethernet High Speed Internet Access– what is it?

Using fibre Ethernet circuits for your Internet access provides a dedicated high speed, uncontended, full duplex symmetrical bandwidth solution that has lower overhead, greater throughput and higher reliability than all broadband (ADSL/SDSL) services. Ethernet is now the standard replacement for more traditional leased line technology.

Ethernet provides flexible and scalable bandwidth options from 10Mb right up to 1Gb Internet access. Ethernet circuits can also be used for Point to Point connections or to provide a private MPLS network with shared Internet access breakout.

Fibre Ethernet is simply the best, most scalable and reliable Internet and site to site connectivity option available in the UK today.
