Covid-19 only accelerated what was happening already. According to one calculation, over 101,000Gb of data criss-crosses the internet every second, and that astonishing figure is only going to rise.

Right now, organisations of all sizes, and from all sectors, are tapping into a huge and growing portfolio of cloud-based applications. They’re busy communicating with customers, suppliers and remote workers through Voice over IP (VoIP) and video conferencing. They’ve barely scratched the surface of what they might do with Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT) and Virtual Reality (VR).

Business demand for data is unquenchable, but with reliance comes risk. To put it simply, when you depend on connectivity for your most fundamental business operations, that connectivity had better be up to the task.

 

The rise of Full-Fibre

Which is why more and more businesses have started to look toward a full-fibre future. BT is investing £1.2bn in rolling out Full-fibre FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) internet across the country, in a move designed to future proof UK businesses for years - even decades - to come. At the moment, this ultrafast technology covers over 80,000 business premises, and that figure is growing all the time.

As we’re a BT Wholesale Elite partner, we can offer your customers Full-fibre where it’s available, right now. Our FTTP Ethernet solution is business-grade, combining ultrafast Full-fibre speeds with the reliability and availability of an uncontended connection.

 

Why go ultrafast?

So, what can ultrafast FTTP Ethernet do for your business? Quite simply, it gives your customers the freedom to experiment and innovate without fear. It lets you adapt a range of advanced digital applications and services without ever having to worry about capacity, reliability or the security of your data while it’s in transit.

With FTTP Ethernet you get speeds of up to 1Gb that never slow down, however far your customers are from the exchange. And because bandwidth is uncontended (it’s reserved for your traffic only), it’s perfect for businesses that need to quickly access applications in the cloud, download or send large files, or have lots of data-hungry users online at the same time.

Ethernet was already the go-to solution for organisations that really couldn’t afford downtime or stuttering connections, and that needed simple, scalable connectivity that adapted to changing needs. FTTP Ethernet supercharges those benefits, letting multiple employees simultaneously exploit a range of next-generation applications, driving a new era of collaboration and creativity.

A simple solution

FTTP Ethernet is a sophisticated, next-generation connectivity solution, but with the right provider it also offers a simple path to greater efficiency and increased productivity.

That’s why we offer a range of bandwidths to precisely meet your customer needs, so they won’t pay for capacity they can’t use. We also offer quick and easy upgrades, so the solution can grow as their business does.

It’s not just our speeds that are fast, it’s our installs too. In many cases we can get your customers up and running in as little as five days.

And because we’re a BT Wholesale Elite partner, their connectivity is backed by a huge network of specialist engineers and cybersecurity experts. It’s reassuring to know that our FTTP Ethernet is built on the same infrastructure that supports businesses, hospitals and public services around the country. With 99.999% availability, it’s a network you can depend on.

 

FTTP for you?

So, is FTTP Ethernet for you and your customers? To some extent, that depends on what you use connectivity for now, and what else you might use it for in the coming months and years.

But one thing’s for certain. As businesses increasingly transition to a digital-first model, the demand for dedicated, ultrafast connectivity will soar. Companies with the confidence and capability to exploit the latest digital tools and services can put themselves one step ahead of the competition. Quite simply, FTTP Ethernet can give you an edge so, get in touch to find yours.

What is cloud computing and how it benefits businesses

If you stream films on Netflix or check your email from anywhere in the world, you’re already using the cloud. But for large enterprises, cloud computing is far more than consumer convenience - it’s the foundation for operational agility, cost optimisation, and long‑term resilience. Today, the cloud underpins digital transformation across every industry. It removes the limits of traditional on‑premises infrastructure, replacing them with scalable, secure, and cost‑efficient services delivered over the internet. So, what is cloud computing really? Think of it like a global utility grid Just as organisations don’t generate their own electricity, they no longer need to build and maintain vast IT estates to power their operations. Instead, they plug into a global network of hyperscale data centres and pay only for the capacity they consume. This model transforms IT from a capital‑intensive function into an agile, consumption‑based platform that can grow or shrink instantly with business demand. Demystifying “the cloud”: what it actually is Despite the name, the cloud isn’t ethereal. It’s built from thousands of enterprise‑grade servers housed in heavily protected data centres around the world. These provide: Always‑on global availability Enterprise‑grade physical security Redundant power, cooling and connectivity High‑performance compute and storage resources Instead of storing your data on a single device or server, the cloud stores information across these resilient environments, enabling global access, multi-layer redundancy, and seamless continuity. Reducing enterprise IT costs without compromising capability Historically, enterprises spent heavily on hardware refresh cycles, data centre space, maintenance, and large support teams. Cloud computing removes these constraints. With a cloud operating model, organisations can: Shift from CapEx to OpEx Subscribe to the compute, storage and applications you need - instead of owning hardware. Avoid hardware lifecycle management Infrastructure is continuously refreshed by the cloud provider. Optimise usage Pay only for what you consume, with autoscaling to manage peaks and troughs. Reduce hidden overheads Power, cooling, physical security, patching and maintenance are no longer your responsibility. For large organisations with complex estates, this delivers predictable budgeting and measurable savings. Resilience and data protection: your always‑on safety net Enterprise outages can halt business operations. Traditional on‑premises infrastructure creates single points of failure. Cloud architecture removes this risk with: Built‑in geo‑redundancy Automated backups Multi‑site replication High availability by design If a device is lost, a server fails, or a site experiences disruption, your systems and data remain secure and accessible. This ensures continuity, protects reputation, and reduces recovery time dramatically. Scalability at enterprise scale: power for any demand Scalability is essential for large organisations with fluctuating workloads or global operations. Cloud platforms automatically scale to handle: Seasonal or event‑driven spikes Large-scale data processing Rapid user onboarding Global expansion Capacity expands the moment it’s needed - and scales back down afterwards - allowing enterprises to stay agile and cost‑efficient. Enabling hybrid work and seamless collaboration Enterprise teams are now spread across regions, countries and time zones. Cloud‑based collaboration tools eliminate version control issues and data silos. With cloud productivity solutions: Teams work from a single source of truth Multiple users can co-edit in real time Permissions and governance are centrally managed Hybrid workers get the same consistent experience This dramatically improves operational efficiency and supports a modern, flexible workforce. The cloud isn’t the future - it's the enterprise advantage today For large organisations, the cloud delivers: Lower infrastructure costs Stronger resilience and security Rapid scalability Higher productivity and collaboration Simpler hybrid working Freedom from legacy limitations It’s not a future trend - it’s the foundation of modern business.
