Business Broadband & Internet

Today, every business needs access to the world wide web. Having a reliable internet connection is vital, and at 4Com we offer a range of business broadband and internet products to help you stay connected.

Ethernet Leased Lines

Ethernet Leased Line services are a perfect way of guaranteeing high speeds for your internet connection, which make them ideal if you need a higher capacity connection. We provide two types of leased lines: Ethernet Access Direct (EAD) and Ethernet First Mile (EFM).

FTTC & FTTP Broadband

Both FTTC and FTTP are types of Fibre Optic broadband. On this page you’ll find plenty of information on the two types, but here we provide a quick definition of Fibre Optic broadband.

Fibre Optic broadband provides a super-fast connection and is suitable for a wide range of needs. It can be made from either plastic or glass cables, whereas regular broadband is made using copper cables. Glass or plastic are much faster at transferring data than copper wires, so much faster in fact that it’s possible to get up to speeds of 1GB/s.

The PSTN & ISDN Switch Off The PSTN & ISDN Switch Off

The telephone network as we know it has started to change. The Big Switch Off is a major milestone within the telecommunications industry, and although 2027 may seem far away, you need to start planning your move now to see how this could impact you and your business.

Remember, this switch off isn’t just about phones. All analogue lines will be switched off, so you need to review everything connected to them, which could include alarms, payment terminals, fax and franking machines. 

If you currently have older “Legacy” Broadband services such as ADSL or FTTC, both of which will have a supporting analogue telephone line, you will need to be upgraded to a new future proofed broadband product, such as SoGEA or FTTP. In this instance, 4Com will be contacting you soon to oversee your transition from older “soon to be redundant” services, to the most suitable future proofed alternative. 

There will be a one-off all-inclusive installation charge to cover hardware, re-programming, and any engineering time required in order to bring your new Broadband connection into service in a seamless manner, without any disruption.
