Widest range of services

With a wide range of options, we can provide all your organisation’s connectivity needs from a single provider, with a single monthly bill, and one place to come to for technical support – including for homeworkers or branch offices.

We take care of security, regular updates to your router, and we monitor your service 24×7.  Our automated monitoring systems alert us if there’s a problem with your internet service so our engineers can start work on the problem before it impacts on service.

We offer contractual guarantees on ethernet services that your connection will be available 100% of the time, with money back if we fail.

Static IP addresses

VPN for home workers

Many large broadband providers do not reliably support VPN usage over their domestic broadband services.  If your staff who are based from home are having difficulty with VPNs not working, talk to us – our internet connections all fully support all VPN technologies. 

Site to Site Networks

If you have a large number of office locations, we can provide connectivity for all of them, including managed VPN and firewall security using an MPLS network – so you can fully outsource the management of all your internet connections to one provider.
