EFM

Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) is a highly resilient copper-based Ethernet service, capable of carrying high bandwidth symmetric connections into your premises without the need for more costly fibre circuits.

EFM is ideal as a step up from broadband or an alternative to end-to-end Ethernet fibre, providing up to 35Mbps (<3km from the exchange), bundling up to 8 copper pairs from the exchange to your premises to attain the bandwidth.

Why choose EFM?

• Reduced costs – significantly cheaper than legacy leased lines or end-to-end Ethernet fibre
• Reduced delivery timescales - EFM can typically be delivered in 25 days, compared to the months sometimes associated with other dedicated connectivity solutions
• Guaranteed bandwidth – zero contention means your service remains unaffected by any other users on the same exchange
• Up to 35Mbps upstream and downstream - ideal for head office connections and supporting remote or homeworkers
• Excellent resilience - if any of the copper pairs fail, the service would simply adjust to a lower speed rather than failing completely

As an award winning business internet service provider and one of the first partners to offer BT's Wholesale Ethernet services, Timico can provide EFM connections for direct internet access or as part of a managed network.

Ethernet over FTTC

Affordable, high speed dedicated services with a business level SLA, using Generic Ethernet Access over FTTC technology.

Ethernet over Fibre To The Cabinet offers businesses a new Ethernet access type with low setup costs and reduced delivery times compared to similar Ethernet products.

With Etherway-type access capability, it can be used to provide super-fast internet access or be incorporated into a Private Wide Area Network.

Why choose Ethernet over FTTC?

• Value for money – typically a lower cost option than other Ethernet and EFM circuits.
• Guaranteed bandwidth – an uncontended service (unlike ADSL or standard FTTC), providing peace of mind that you don’t have to share your bandwidth with other internet users.
• Super- fast speeds – asymmetric or symmetric access product offering speeds of up to 80Mbps download and up to 20Mbps upload. Symmetric ‘capped’ speeds provide guaranteed bandwidth options that mirror existing Ethernet services.
• Business grade SLA - offers a 7 hour fault resolution SLA.
• Fast installation time- 13 working day lead time.

Note: Ethernet over FTTC requires an existing PSTN line to be provided without any other services enabled on the line, charges for this are not included as part of the Ethernet over FTTC product.

Ethernet Fibre

Timico Ethernet circuits provide dedicated and uncontended access to the internet with high availability, security and throughput speeds via one of Timico's POPs. This ensures a superfast, resilient, always-on access service for your business-critical systems and applications.

Ethernet over Radio

Ethernet over Radio provides a 100Mbps connection between your premises and the nearest Ethernet network point of presence.

The service is designed as a solution for businesses in locations where standard Ethernet Fibre can’t be provided or where significant Excess Construction Charges (ECCs) would be involved in delivering it, typically greater than £20,000.

Timico can also provide wireless connectivity in similar circumstances including a full design and build service covering specification, design, permissions, civils, mechanical and network build and maintenance.

Ethernet Access Direct

Where Ethernet performance levels need to be guaranteed and bandwidth requirements are high and growing, Ethernet Access Direct (EAD) is a bespoke option for point-to-point data connectivity between your sites. EAD supports a range of requirements including cloud computing, simultaneous online pupil access in classrooms and storage area network connectivity, offering powerful diagnostic features and a range of resilience options.
