Future-proof your portfolio with Ethernet over FTTP
Part of our Superfast GEA portfolio.
Offer the speed and reliability of full fibre
We now offer Ethernet over FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) access on both layer 2 Ethernet and layer 3 Direct Internet Access (DIA) solutions. It’s all part of our constantly evolving Ethernet access portfolio.
What is it?
Ethernet over FTTP is a full fibre connection from the premises to the nearest Ethernet node.
Ideal for: Smaller offices and sites, satellite locations and remote workers, especially where download capacity is a priority.
- Download speeds up to 1Gbps with a range of access options.
- Connected to our Ethernet platform, separate to our FTTP Broadband platform, carrying only business traffic.
- Use Ethernet over FTTP access for layer 2 Ethernet solutions like Etherflow Connected (E-Line) and Etherflow Dynamic (E-LAN), or also for layer 3 internet access like DIA.
- 99.977% target circuit availability and seven-hour fix time.
- Faster, simpler installation than Etherway fibre access.
Growing our reach to enable and support an all-IP future
We’re committed to growing our FTTP coverage across the UK and connecting this to our 21CN Ethernet platform for our Ethernet solutions.
Along with Openreach, we’re investing to increase our coverage to business premises, so you can meet the changing needs of your customers as we transition to all-IP.
We already reach over 12.5m premises and plan to grow this to 25m by the end of 2026. This includes around 1.5m business and public sector locations.
