Upload kills productivity
Cloud applications, video calls and offsite backups all stall on the limited upload of ADSL and FTTC.
Fibre optics & connectivity
Fibre optic installation, splicing and testing across the North West.
Whether you need full-fibre internet into the building, a dedicated leased line, or fibre backbones running between cabinets and outbuildings, we scope, install and test it end to end — splicing, OTDR results and clean documentation included.
What's going wrong
The symptoms are usually the same.
Most sites don't come to us asking for fibre. They come to us because something has stopped working properly.
Unpredictable latency
Shared copper routes introduce jitter. Voice and Teams calls suffer, and VPN connections crawl.
Single point of failure
One unreliable line means downtime, with no failover path and no resilience plan behind it.
Choose the right route
Three fibre options, depending on what the site actually needs.
The right answer depends on bandwidth, contention tolerance and budget — we'll tell you which one applies rather than selling you the largest.
FTTP — full fibre to the premises
The best first step away from copper. Suits offices needing reliable upload and better latency without leased line costs.
Ethernet leased line
Dedicated fibre with symmetrical bandwidth and a business SLA. The right choice for voice, VPN, cloud and multi-site links.
Internal fibre & backbones
Single-mode and multi-mode runs between cabinets and buildings — spliced, patched, labelled and certified.
Internal fibre is usually specified alongside structured cabling — the copper serves the floor, the fibre carries the backbone between distribution points. Where a leased line is going in to support voice, it's worth reading the VoIP phone systems page alongside this one.
Typical pricing — guide only
Clear expectations up front, exact costs after survey.
Indicative figures so you can scope a budget. Nothing is confirmed until we've checked carriers, lead times and any civils.
FTTP
£40–£90 / month
- Substantially better upload than FTTC or ADSL
- Lower latency for VoIP and Teams
- Typical lead time 2–6 weeks
Ethernet leased line
£200–£450 / month
- Dedicated, symmetric, uncontended bandwidth
- Business SLA and proactive monitoring
- Typical lead time 45–90 days
Internal fibre
POA — fixed install
- Splicing, containment and labelled patching
- OTDR results and as-built drawings
- Nights and weekends available
Prices vary by location, bearer size and contract term. Leased line costs in particular depend heavily on distance to the nearest point of presence and whether any civils work is required — which is why we check before quoting rather than after.
How we deliver
From availability check to live fibre, with minimal disruption.
01
Check
Address check, carrier options, FTTP versus Ethernet, target speeds and term.
02
Survey
Desktop and on-site where needed. Wayleaves and civils planned, internal routes agreed.
03
Install
Fibre pulled and spliced. ONT or NTE fitted, cabinet terminations labelled.
04
Configure
Router and firewall, failover paths, QoS for voice, handoff to the LAN.
05
Test & handover
OTDR and light-level testing, as-built drawings, and a documented handover.
Quick answers
What most teams ask us.
FTTP or leased line — which should we choose?
FTTP is a low-cost upgrade from copper with far better upload and latency, and suits most offices. If you need guaranteed symmetric bandwidth backed by an SLA — typically for voice, VPN or multi-site connectivity — a leased line is the right answer.
Can we build in resilience?
Yes. A common design is a leased line with FTTP or 4G as a backup path and automatic failover. We configure the router and firewall so the switch happens without dropping calls.
Do you supply the router and set up QoS?
We can supply and configure the router or firewall, prioritising voice and business-critical traffic. If you already have an IT provider we're equally happy to work alongside them and hand off cleanly.
What about fibre links between buildings?
We install and splice single-mode and multi-mode runs between cabinets and outbuildings, label everything to a consistent scheme, and provide OTDR results and as-built drawings on completion. External routes are specified with the appropriate armouring and duct condition in mind.
Will there be downtime?
Cutovers are planned out of hours where needed, and the existing link stays live until testing passes. For internal fibre we phase the works around your operation rather than the other way round.
What testing do we get on handover?
Every core is insertion-loss tested as a minimum, with OTDR traces on backbone and external runs. You receive the full PDF test pack alongside as-built drawings — the same documentation you'd hand to a client or an auditor.
