Ethernet First Mile


Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) delivers flexible data connectivity over a choice of 2 copper pairs (up to 10Mbps) or 4 pairs (up to 20Mbps), with a minimum symmetrical speed guarantee of 2Mbps. It's an ideal replacement for SDSL over Datastream, which is being retired, or leased lines services.

Not only is EFM keenly priced for businesses who are outgrowing their broadband connections, it's also highly resilient and suitable for business critical applications. That's because if one pair fails, the second, third or fourth pairs provide a failsafe capability.

And not only that, it's widely available to more than 80% of business premises in the UK and backed up by cast iron service guarantees that you just can't get with other products.

EFM from Open IP is a superior technology to that of many of our competitors, requiring fewer copper pairs without compromising on speed. Choose from up to 10Mbps over 2 copper pairs or 20Mpbs on 4 copper pairs, with a minimum symmetrical speed guarantee of 2Mbps. Put simply, compared to BT we provide twice the bandwidth on half the number of copper pairs, significantly lowering the cost, all to a wider geographical area.
