What are Ethernet Services?

Ethernet services are communications options provided by using fibre-optic media across a broadband network. It is perhaps the most common method used by people getting online in the UK, surpassing dial-up largely because of its speed and reliability, and presents businesses with a variety of file-sharing and resource-sharing networking options.

Why do I need it?

Ethernet services are currently the de facto way of using the internet, so it's a good idea to implement such methods across your business them as they provide easier options for maintenance and repairs. Ethernet services also provide opportunities to save money, as a small or medium-sized office can operate one printer (or other hardware device) using network sharing.

Is it fast?

Depending on your location, and the distance between you and your nearest broadband exchange, speeds can reach as high as 1,000 megabytes per second. This is more than enough for any data transferring options you may require.

How reliable is it?

Some Ethernet services (such as metropolitan and personal area network connections) are used to manage a large amount of important and sensitive information, so incorporating reliable Ethernet services is a must. And with the widespread use of Ethernet services across the UK, any problems which do occur can easily be fixed by your internet service provider.

Does it provide good value?

Yes. Ethernet services are cheaper than a typical T1 or ADSL line, and can be set up with less hassle. There are also a wide variety of packages from various internet service providers available to suit all business needs and, considering the amount of money that can be saved through hardware-sharing, could provide some great telecommunications solutions for your business.
