Interactive Broadband Map for the UK

An interactive map that shows the state of broadband around the UK has been launched by telecoms watchdog, Ofcom. 

The map shows that that 68% of homes had a fixed connection with an average speed of 7.5Mbps (megabits per second).  That residents of Luton and Newtonabbey were most likely to have access to superfast broadband (over 24Mbps), but most worryingly, that 14% of connected households remained in the slow lane with speeds of less than 2Mbps.

Ofcom hopes that the data will be useful to local authorities as they bid for money to bring faster services to their areas.

Reach New Speeds with Ethernet First Mile

Faster, more reliable connectivity is now available in the form of Ethernet in the first Mile (EFM).  EFM is a reliable and well-priced connectivity for organisations that need faster connections up and down with resilience at an affordable price, and is a real alternative to a leased line.

This new technique uses existing physical infrastructure whether it is ordinary telephone lines or dark fibre links. It can provide a highly resilient copper based Ethernet service, which has the ability to transfer high bandwidth data at up to 20 Mbps speeds into users’ premises without the need for any end-to-end fibre leased lines.

Ethernet offers true un-contended, symmetric and guaranteed bandwidth that is easy to run QoS (Quality of Service) over. Unlike ADSL, EFM provides a direct Ethernet socket from your local exchange, freeing your phone line. With guaranteed speeds and excellent reliability EFM is perfect for delivering both Hosted & SIP services.
