Ethernet services involve the use of fibre-optic media in order to send information across a broadband network. It is probably the most common method of connecting to the internet in the UK, taking over from dial-up, and is both cheaper and easier than the implementation of a wireless system.

Customers who choose to invest in Ethernet services may do so because it is a cost-effective communications method - less expensive than a T1 or ADSL line. In addition, Ethernet services may appeal to people who prefer their network to be wired, allowing them to locate and fix any problems quickly and easily.

Some Ethernet services depend on the geography of the user, with smaller sites connected to the central network through a hub and spoke configuration. While speeds can vary depending on location, Ethernet services can sometimes achieve speeds of up to 1,000 megabytes per second.

Examples of Ethernet services include LAN - local area networks - which work by connecting a ‘family’ of computers together. These can then be added to a wide area network (WAN) as provided through a subscription to an internet service provider. Ethernet services are also common in schools, universities and workplaces, allowing the cost-effective and time-saving exchange of documents and information on a shared server.

Additional Ethernet services examples include a metropolitan area network (MAN), which has a citywide span - useful for sharing information across local government offices, for example - and personal area network (PAN) for computers in the same room.

Ethernet services provide some of the most attractive options for a company to take in terms of communications due to its familiarity. Ethernet services have a track record of being reliable and fast, and will be up-to-scratch when it comes to looking after your network.
