Metro Ethernet

What is Metro Ethernet Connectivity?

Dot IT’s Fibre Ethernet provides a high speed, uncontended and reliable connectivity solution with bandwidths available from 2Mb to 1Gb. Ethernet is available as a direct connection to the Internet or as a site-to-site direct link.

Dot IT Ethernet normally uses fibre optic cable to provide easy upgrades to even higher bandwidth and is available from 2Mb to 1Gb. We also offer a lower cost Ethernet service based on copper from your site to the local node from where fibre connects to Dot IT’s network which provides between 2Mb and10Mb where available.

Our Ethernet connections provide superior performance and lower latency than SDSL based products.

Is a Dot IT Ethernet Circuit suitable for me?

A Dot IT Ethernet connection is ideal if you require more bandwidth than your current Leased Line or SDSL solution provides. Dot IT Ethernet is perfect for connecting to a remote server, video conferencing, VOIP/SIP, and connecting multiple sites directly or via a VPN.

If your business relies on your connection to the Internet or between sites, then the high reliability and SLA offered by Dot IT Ethernet should give you peace of mind.

The pricing of Dot IT Ethernet varies upon customer location but starts at under £300 per month.

How reliable is Dot IT’s Ethernet connection?

Dot IT’s Fibre Ethernet circuits utilise the inherent reliability of fibre optic cable or multiple redundant copper cable for mission critical applications. Our circuits include a fully managed Cisco router, 24 / 7 support, free hardware replacement and have a 99.9% Service Level Agreement.

Dot IT also provide a flexible range of back-up solutions using Dot IT’s industry leading SDSL or ADSL service together with text or pager alerts should any downtime occur on the Ethernet circuit.

How soon can I have an Ethernet connection?

Lead times for Ethernet circuits vary between 30 and 65 working days depending upon bandwidth required and location. Please note that lead times can vary significantly, especially where new fibre optic cable has to be installed. We can install a temporary ADSL or SDSL circuit where required.
