One private wire between exactly two endpoints. VLAN-transparent handoff at both ends.
One private wire. Done properly.
Clean layer-2 connectivity with the engineering, SLA and UK support you'd expect from a Cambridge-based ISP.
Two Sites, One Private Wire
A dedicated layer-2 Ethernet Private Line (EPL) between two of your buildings — that's all we do, and we do it properly.
Guaranteed Bandwidth
Hard committed information rate (CIR) on every circuit — symmetric, low jitter, effectively zero packet loss.
Private & Secure
Your traffic never touches the public internet. The circuit lives on the carrier's optical fabric end-to-end.
VLAN Transparent
Full 802.1Q and Q-in-Q support — extend dozens of VLANs natively between sites without retagging or NAT.
Office ↔ Fast2host Rack
Most popular deployment: a point-to-point from your office straight into your rack at our Cambridge Tier III data centre.
End-to-End SLA
99.99% availability, ≤4-hour MTTR and proactive service credits — backed in writing and monitored from our UK NOC.
Office straight into your Cambridge rack
The deployment we deliver most often: a private EPL from your office into your colocated infrastructure at Fast2host — one flat network, no public exposure.
- Layer-2 handoff straight into your Fast2host cabinet switch
- Extend office VLANs with 802.1Q — no NAT or public hops
- Ideal for storage replication, backup and DR workloads
- Same 99.99% SLA and UK NOC as every other circuit we deliver
Built for businesses that need a private wire
From HQ-to-branch LAN extension to regulated data movement — if it's two sites, we can wire them.
HQ ↔ Branch Office
Link two of your buildings with a single flat network — VoIP, file shares and AD/SSO run as if both sites were under one roof.
Office ↔ Data Centre
Stretch your office LAN directly into your Fast2host rack — perfect for replicating storage, off-site backups and DR.
Regulated Workloads
Finance, legal and healthcare clients moving sensitive data between two sites without ever touching the public internet.
Point-to-point vs leased line (DIA)
Not sure which you need? Many customers run both — DIA for internet at the edge, P2P for private site-to-site traffic.
