Data connectivity

Our wholesale data connectivity services allow customers to enjoy high performance, high availability next-generation solutions.

Our connectivity services

We have a variety of modern and future-proof access technologies within our data connectivity portfolio.

Fibre to the Premises (FTTP):

This delivers a full-fibre connection to your customer’s site with a range of bandwidth options available. It can be used to connect to our Wholesale Broadband and Wholesale Ethernet platforms.

Single order Generic Ethernet Access (SoGEA):

This is an all-IP ready alternative to older Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) access, without the need for a PSTN line. It uses a combination of fibre and copper, but with simpler ordering and delivery. SoGEA can be used to connect to our Wholesale Broadband and Wholesale Ethernet platforms.

Dedicated fibre:
