Carrier-grade
Ethernet Services
Private, symmetric layer-2 Ethernet circuits from 10Mbps to 100Gbps — perfect for site-to-site WAN, data centre interconnect and private cloud onramps. MEF compliant, SLA-backed and engineered in the UK.
- Symmetric speeds from 10Mbps to 100Gbps
- EAD, EFM and Wavelength services
- MEF-compliant Carrier Ethernet
- Q-in-Q VLAN tagging supported
- Sub-5ms latency on UK metro routes
- End-to-end SLA with proactive credits
A pure layer-2 wire between your sites
Every Ethernet circuit ships as a transparent, VLAN-aware bearer with hard committed bandwidth, end-to-end SLA and live performance reporting.
Layer 2 Transparency
Pure Ethernet handover — no MTU surprises, no NAT, no shared IP space. Plug your kit straight in and run.
Point-to-Point & E-LAN
EPL, EVPL and E-LAN topologies for site-to-site and multipoint deployments across the UK and EU.
Guaranteed Performance
Hard CIR with low jitter and zero contention — engineered for VoIP, video, storage replication and clustering.
End-to-End SLA
99.99% availability, ≤4-hour MTTR and proactive service credits — backed in writing.
Flexible Bearers
1Gbps, 10Gbps and 100Gbps optical bearers. Burst and scale your committed rate without a re-install.
VLAN Trunking
802.1Q and Q-in-Q tagging across the circuit so you can extend multiple VLANs between sites natively.
Private & Secure
Traffic stays on our private MPLS core — never traverses the public internet unless you want it to.
Live Reporting
Real-time bandwidth graphs, NetFlow analytics and SLA reports through the customer portal.
UK NOC, 24/7/365
Real engineers answer the phone — no offshore call centres, no scripts, no hand-offs.
Built for organisations that move serious traffic
Site-to-Site WAN
Link head office, branches and warehouses with a private, low-latency LAN extension between buildings.
Data Centre Interconnect
Replicate, back up and burst between your kit in our Cambridge facility and your office or a third-party DC.
Hybrid Cloud Onramp
Private Ethernet handover into AWS, Azure and GCP — no public internet, no IPSec overhead.
Carriers & Wholesale
ISPs, MSPs and integrators reselling layer-2 connectivity to their own customers across the UK.
