Ethernet in the First Mile Benefits

What is EFM?

img-280-efmEFM stands for Ethernet in the First Mile and is a technology for delivering a high speed (up to 10Mbps), reliable internet connection to your business. Unlike a traditional leased line which uses Fibre to connect you to your local exchange EFM uses bundles of copper pairs which means lower costs, high resilience with a faster installation time. Speeds are also symmetrical, so unlike a broadband connection you get the same speeds uploading data as you do downloading.
