Better range = better value

91% of all our Ethernet customers have local access to an exchange which has been enabled for our Next Generation Network. The closer you are to an enabled exchange, the lower the cost of your connection, so our network reach provides you with the best value.

Fibre-based Ethernet is the intelligent choice for businesses of all sizes. It's fast, flexible and easily managed, highly compatible with existing networks and ideal for any application over IP.

As voice and data networks converge, Ethernet is the native platform for communications of all kinds. It's a proven technology that naturally extends your LAN across an entire organisation. Ethernet is the industry standard for internet connectivity, guaranteeing compatibility with the widest range of on site equipment and services.

With the growth in remote working and cloud services, customers in both the public and private sectors increasingly demand the premium, synchronous bandwidth that only Ethernet can deliver. It's ideally suited for streaming and broadcast services, and can be used to build and extend customer networks and infrastructure.

Dedicated reliable high bandwidth access

TalkTalk Business's Next Generation Ethernet provides the same high speeds for both downloads and uploads, delivering a dedicated and predictable connection all of the time. The symmetric bandwidth to support business critical applications, such as VoIP data and video conferencing ensures, day-to-day business activities run efficiently, supported by a suite of online reporting tools.

More secure VPNs

By keeping IPVPN traffic on our network rather than routing packets via the internet, next generation Ethernet can be used to create highly secure private networks for large multisite businesses.

Geographical reach

With over 2,050 exchanges enabled for Ethernet services, we can provide more sites with better value access than any of our competitors. 91% of our Ethernet customers are within close proximity to an exchange, reducing costs dramatically.

Cost effective and flexible

When compared to traditional solutions, TalkTalk Business's Next Generation Ethernet provides greater bandwidth without worrying about capacity bottlenecks. You can improve productivity cost effectively by centrally hosting server applications, with remote access through high capacity connections and the ability to reassign bandwidth to where it’s most needed – i.e. to a website following a marketing campaign.

Scalable

The beauty of TalkTalk Business Ethernet is that it’s easily scalable. With various bandwidth options offered in the ranges of 10Mbps intervals up to 100Mbps, your customers can easily scale their Ethernet implementations as their bandwidth needs grow and 100Mbps intervals up to 1Gbps.

Ethernet is a symmetrical service, with no usage limitations and full traffic control and quality of service options. That makes it ideal for carrying time sensitive packets for voice and video as well as data. In fact, it's the best you can get.

What's more, it's ideal for replacing legacy services like leased lines and SDSL connection that are coming to the end of their life. Ethernet is the future-proof technology you can trust to invest in; as your business grows we can simply add to your bandwidth to fit your needs.

And thanks to the reach of our Next Generation Network, available in over 2,050 exchanges, Ethernet connectivity is available to almost any business that wants it.

Our Next Generation Network is the result of £600m investment, and has an unrivalled reach, delivering pure IP services from end to end. Built from the ground up to serve business and residential traffic alike, we can deliver the highest quality connectivity, with full traffic management for business critical applications and still leverage economies of scale that are a result of over 5m subscribers to our services.
