Supercharge your connectivity with FTTP placeholder thumbnail

Covid-19 only accelerated what was happening already. According to one calculation, over 101,000Gb of data crisscrosses 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

This 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.

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 you 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 need 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 needs, so you won’t pay for capacity you can’t use. We also offer quick and easy upgrades, so the solution can grow as your 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.

Boardroom vs breach: 20 questions every IT leader should be asking about cyber security

Cyber threats are evolving faster than most organisations can keep up. Between new attack techniques, expanding digital estates, and the cyber skills shortage, even well-equipped IT teams are struggling to stay ahead. It’s no longer enough to tick compliance boxes or to simply deploy the latest tools. Real security starts with asking the right questions and acting on the answers. That’s why we’ve created Boardroom vs Breach, a 20-question self-assessment designed to help IT leaders and those responsible for cyber-security take a clear-eyed look at your current security posture, highlight blind spots, and spark critical conversations at board level. Why this matters The cost of a cyber breach isn’t just downtime – it’s trust, reputation, compliance fines, and lost revenue. Yet many companies don’t know if their defences are actually up to the task – do you? These 20 questions aren’t about theory; they reflect real-world weak points that we see every day. If you can’t answer them confidently, we can help. The 20 questions you need to answer Visibility & monitoring Do you have complete visibility of your IT assets? What visibility do you have into incidents and events across your infrastructure? How do you manage your security tooling? How many different tools are you running — and are they working together? Are your systems and endpoints patched regularly? Our advice: Gaining complete visibility starts with consolidating event data, automating alerts, and ensuring continuous oversight across your entire estate. Take a look at: Security Information and Event Management Vulnerability Management Managed Detection and Response Threat detection & response What happens if an incident occurs after hours? How do you find out? Who responds? When was your last penetration test? How regularly do you conduct them? What protections are in place for endpoints, email, and networks? What level of visibility do you have into potential breaches? Do you work with a partner that offers 24/7/365 response and real-world support? Our advice: Improve threat visibility and reduce response times by combining real-time monitoring with expert-led incident analysis and containment. Take a look at: 24/7/365 Managed Detection and Response Incident Response Retainers Penetration Testing and Red Teaming Cloud & modern IT risk Do you use public cloud services? Are you confident in how they’re secured? How do you manage and secure user devices remotely? What vendors are you currently relying on — and are they right for your risk profile? How do you secure your network beyond the firewall? Our advice: Extend visibility beyond the traditional perimeter by applying cloud-native monitoring, endpoint telemetry, and policy-based access control. Take a look at: Cloud Security Assessments Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) People, process & planning How are your users trained to detect attacks such as phishing? Do you have access to expert help in a crisis? What cyber expertise exists in-house — is there a dedicated security leader? How do you create a positive security culture, not just rules? What threats are most relevant to your industry? Are you meeting required regulations and compliance standards? Our advice: Build better situational awareness by aligning people and processes with continuous monitoring and clearly defined escalation paths. Take a look at: Security Awareness Training Virtual CISO Services Compliance and Risk Consulting And a bonus question, with potentially the most worrying answer of all… What would a breach cost your business — financially and operationally? Putting it all together While individual solutions can address specific security challenges, working with a trusted managed services and security partner ensures cohesive, round-the-clock support across every aspect of your cyber security posture — delivering greater efficiency, resilience, and long-term value. We work with IT and security leaders across all sectors to assess risk, build resilient cyber strategies, and deliver comprehensive protection that scales with your business. From real-world penetration testing to 24/7/365 threat detection, cloud security, and expert consultancy, we’re your trusted partner in securing the ‘now’ — and preparing for what’s next.

Tipping points: Factors typically driving the transition from a legacy PBX to cloud VoIP Essential business apps are now born in the cloud. Whether you have a CRM solution, something for HR, or simple file storage, it’s probably in the cloud.
