Fibre for your business
FTTC (Fiber to the Cabinet)

FTTC delivers internet by running fibre optic cables to a street cabinet near your premises, with the final connection to your home/office made via a copper telephone line. Here are some key points:

  • Phone Line Required: FTTC requires an active phone line, which means you’ll need to pay for line rental.
  • Speed: Offers download speeds up to 80 Mbps, depending on the distance from the cabinet.
  • Voice Services: Includes a traditional phone line, allowing you to use standard telephone services alongside your internet.
SOGEA (Single Order Generic Ethernet Access)

SOGEA is similar to FTTC in that it uses the same fiber and copper infrastructure, but it eliminates the need for a traditional phone line. Here’s how it stands out:

  • No Phone Line Required: SOGEA provides broadband without requiring line rental, potentially reducing costs.
  • Speed: Offers similar speeds to FTTC, leveraging the same network infrastructure.
  • VoIP Services: Since there’s no phone line, you can use VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) for voice calls.

Why is SoGEA a better service than FTTC?

Both SoGEA and FTTC utilise the copper wires going from your premises to the cabinet in the street and both offer great speeds of up to 80Mbps. However SoGEA offers greater stability because it doesn't use traditional copper-based phone lines. SoGEA lines boast a more reliable connection with a much lower risk of downtime due to faults. With a higher than average bandwidth and superior speeds SoGEA is the perfect alternative to PSTN for any business.
