The PSTN switch off
By the end of 2025, all PTSN lines will be switched off and businesses will be moving onto a fully digital network and embracing services such as VoIP. It’s not just phone services that will be affected, it will be everything that uses the old phone network such as alarms, EPOS machines, door entry systems, CCTV and faxes.
Check your bandwidth
Now more than ever it will be vital to have a robust and secure high speed internet service.
Check for special services
If you’re using your analogue phone lines for other services such as lift emergency lines, cash machines or alarms, the digital upgrade will affect them and you’ll need to take action to ensure continuation of service.
Moving to VoIP
We do a full network analysis and make recommendations tailored to your business.

Our Connectivity Services
+ 4G/5G
Using 4G and 5G for WAN connectivity offers businesses high-speed, reliable internet access with quick deployment and scalability. 4G provides speeds up to 100 Mbps, while 5G can exceed 1 Gbps, supporting data-intensive applications. These technologies reduce costs associated with physical infrastructure and offer flexibility for remote and temporary sites. They also enhance connectivity for primary and backup networks, support IoT integration, and enable edge computing with low latency, making them ideal for modern business needs.
Fibre to the Premise (FTTP)
This internet access system refers to fibre broadband that is wired directly to the premises instead of a cabinet that services the area. A FTTP DIA service, unlike FTTC, uses all fibre optic cables, making it the fastest type of fibre you use, allowing for up to 1GBps (1000Mbps).
Generic Ethernet Access (GEA)
GEA is an entry-level business grade DIA service connection. Copper runs from the site to the green box outside in the same way as FTTC. Cost savings are made as there isn’t a fibre termination into the building. GEA is an access mechanism to a nationwide Ethernet service, providing higher levels of reliability when compared to FTTC services.
Ethernet Fibre (Etherway/EWL)
This is a fibre line direct internet access service. Offering a dedicated and reliable business grade connection to the internet, this circuit type offers the best fix times, guaranteeing the highest flexibility in speed with changes made within hours of our request. Etherway DIA service charges typically include both a 'bearer' and 'bandwidth' cost. The bearer provides the fibre over which access is given and the speed of access is determined by the bandwidth costs.
Satellite
Satellite provides reliable internet access virtually anywhere, making it ideal for remote or underserved locations. Satellite services, use small dish antennas to communicate with satellites, offering dedicated bandwidth for large enterprises with numerous locations. This technology ensures connectivity for primary and disaster recovery networks, overcoming ground-to-satellite propagation delays and enhancing security with encryption and CGNAT.
