EoFTTC – Ethernet over FTTC
Affordable ethernet internet with guaranteed bandwidth.
EoFTTC: Entry-level ethernet with superfast broadband
Ethernet over Fibre To The Cabinet (EoFTTC) is a service that bridges the gap between broadband services and dedicated ethernet. It’s ethernet but over the fibre broadband infrastructure, meaning you get the same superfast speeds as FTTC, but you won’t share bandwidth.
EoFTTC is cheaper and quicker to install than other ethernet products and is available just about anywhere in the UK. So you won’t have to wait around for great internet.
Low cost ethernet
All the same advantages as ethernet, but pay up to 40% less.
What is EoFTTC?
EoFTTC is an entry-level ethernet solution delivered over the fibre broadband infrastructure. It gives you better reliability and faster speeds than standard broadband.
How does it work?
Ethernet over Fibre to the Cabinet is delivered via copper lines from your office to a roadside cabinet, a short distance away. Unlike standard broadband, it travels to the exchange on a fibre optic cable. Although the internet traffic travels on a shared fibre line, it gets up to 20Mbps symmetrical speeds. That’s with a boosted download bandwidth of 80Mbps. Other traffic is minimised or non-existent, making EoFTTC an Ethernet service without the cost.
What EoFTTC can bring to your business
Dedicated bandwidth
When you choose EoFTTC you get dedicated bandwidth with guarenteed speeds of 20Mb upload and download, and a boost of up to 80Mb download.

EoFTTC FAQs
I have FTTC (or Fibre Broadband). Can I upgrade to EoFTTC?
If your business already has an FTTC connection, upgrading to EoFTTC is quick and cost-effective. That’s because the physical infrastructure required is already in place. Unlike EFM and Ethernet over Fibre, EoFTTC offers a super-fast lead-time of around 15 working days.
Can I get EoFTTC if I don't already have FTTC?
No problem. Just get in touch with us, and we’ll do a quick check to see if you are eligible for Fibre Broadband. Fibre infrastructure is widely available in the UK but not everywhere. So even if you can’t yet receive FTTC, we’ll discuss other options to tide you over until it is available in your area.
What’s the price difference between Fibre Broadband FTTC and EoFTTC?
EoFTTC does mean an increase in cost because it is a dedicated connection. However, the increase is not as significant as you think. SoConnect Fibre Broadband (FTTC) services start at £29.95 per month, with EoFTTC starting at £95. This represents a 40% cost saving compared with other Ethernet services like Leased Line and EFM.
