From Ethernet Solutions to Leased Lines

Flexibility is everything - that’s the bottom line when it comes to our Network & Data Services. All our products and services are available individually or in combination, which allows you to bring home the advantages of our experience and hi-spec network to your own product offerings.

Everything we offer can be tailored to your specific needs. Our national network‘s deep fibre penetration and technical diversity means we can be extremely flexible in assembling bespoke solutions across multiple technologies and platforms.

Our dedicated account team is a versatile bunch, bringing a fresh approach to technical and commercial opportunities, and our experienced pre-sales consultants will accurately capture your requirements to create custom-built solutions. All our bespoke Wholesale Markets solutions are available with tailored management and support packages.
 
Ethernet Solutions
You can now take full advantage of the ever-increasing demand for reliable, low cost data services thanks to Ethernet Solutions from Virgin Media Business. Our solution offers massive capacity and a technically advanced network with a nationwide reach, all with one important difference –a pricing structure that’s based on usage rather than distance. We think that’s rather special.

Our Ethernet Solutions bring everything together, as if it was all located at the same site. They provide simple, increasingly cost-effective ways to connect geographically-separated Local Area Networks, all with the same speed, convenience, reliability and great value.

The benefits are clear – high-speed capacity together with sustainable cost means faster, joined-up communications. This enables real-time collaboration within organisations, rapid transmission of data, deployment of distributed applications throughout the organisation and easy, speedy access to data from anywhere you fancy. 
 
Ethernet Extensions Plus
We’re really proud of our Ethernet Extensions Plus solution, a newly enhanced product that includes up to 7 Classes of Service, rate limiting and optional web-based performance management reporting.

Available nationally between sites up to 35km apart, at 10/100Mbs and 1Gb, this is a robust and inherently secure service delivered over a dedicated fibre pair. Its key features include:

  • Cost effectiveness
    Whether you need multiple circuits or a single connection, the service can be substantially more cost efficient than alternative solutions such as Leased Lines, particularly if large volumes of information are being moved between sites.
  • Predictable budgeting
    Our rental charges are fixed and detailed in advance to enable easier and more accurate budgeting.
  • Seamless and responsive
    We’ll provide high availability and quality of service, regardless of location.

High Capacity Services
When you want more, our high capacity services portfolio delivers high speed, multi-gigabit data capacity to support multi-protocol connectivity between sites. An added bonus is we can offer a dedicated capacity of 1Gb and upward throughout the UK and Ireland.

Interconnection with you is based on standard shorthaul optics. We can offer 1Gb, 2.5Gb and 10Gb wavelengths, either protected or unprotected and you can choose whether your service is provided on a Virgin Media Business POP-to-POP basis or as a bespoke solution connecting customer sites.

Leased Lines and Carrier Private Circuits
Today, the possibilities of transmitting large volumes of data between distant and geographically isolated business sites isn’t so remote - all thanks to the expertise we have right here at Virgin Media Business. We quite literally have the technology.
It’s all made possible through Leased Lines, through a dedicated network or by Carrier Private Circuits, using a combination of our own and third party networks. Operating over our core fibre network, you'll benefit from industry- leading reliability at a highly competitive price.

Leased Lines are available protected or unprotected at the following speeds:

  • STM16
  • STM4 and STM4(c)
  • STM1 optical or electrical
  • speeds from 34/45Mbs to 2Mbs.

Carrier Private Circuits can be provided protected or unprotected and operate over both the Virgin Media Business network and BT PPCs. Download our data sheet for more information on Carrier Private Circuits.

Also available throughout the network is G652 specification fibre, with some G655 Corning Leaf specification on some routes. Service is available with or without connection to your network or individual sites.Both can be provided with supporting maintenance services.
