How does it work?
We will supply either a direct local access circuit or may use another telecommunications provider to supply a dedicated point-to-point circuit between your office and the nearest Fast.co.uk point of presence (POP). This circuit acts as your own dedicated pipe to the Internet. All of our leased lines are monitored 24/7 by our network operations team.
Fast.co.uk provide a managed Cisco router, and deliver the service to you as an Ethernet connection to plug directly into your network.
How much does it cost?
The exact cost will depend upon the access circuit charges, which relate to the distance of the installation location from a Fast.co.uk point of presence, and the amount of Internet bandwidth you require.
