Eclipse Leased Lines | Call us on 0800 9155 234
EFM 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.
We can set EFM up for you at a range of speeds:
2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 Mbps
The speed you can get will depend on your exchange. Request a quote to find out what speed you could get with EFM.
Because EFM uses copper lines that are already in place there is no need for expensive digs to install new lines, making it cheaper to install with lower monthly rental charges. If you want speeds of up to 10Mbps EFM could save you up to 65% of the cost of a traditional leased line.
60% of UK business are located in an EFM area. To find out if you can get EFM in your area request a quote.
Because EFM uses existing infrastructure your connection can be up and running within 30 days of your contract being signed.
This is potentially twice as fast as a traditional leased line. So if you have a new site going live or a pressing need for higher bandwidth or better reliability, EFM could be the solution for you.
Because EFM uses multiple bundles of copper pairs the solution has a high level of reliance.
Should one of the copper pairs ever temporarily fail your connection will be shared over the remaining copper pairs keeping your business connected to the internet.
VOIP, VPN and video can all be very sensitive to latency, leading to poor voice quality, buffering and other issues over a traditional broadband connection.
