A fast and reliable web connection is now a must for the vast majority of businesses. For some organisations, standard broadband is sufficient, but for others, a faster and more reliable solution is required. If you’re looking to improve your business’ connectivity, Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) circuits could be the answer.
At POP Telecom, we pride ourselves on offering a range of business broadband and fibre solutions, including EFM circuits.
What is an EFM circuit?
EFM circuits offer an affordable way to achieve enhanced bandwidth compared to a standard broadband service. They use multiple copper lines to deliver reliable, high-speed connections at competitive rates, making them ideal for businesses. EFM can be utilised in a variety of ways, making it a versatile solution for your business. Not only can it connect to the internet, but also to a wide area network or virtual private network.
EFM has multiple advantages over the more commonly used ADSL. Because it features bundles of copper telephone lines, it can provide impressive speeds. Unlike ADSL, which is designed mainly for browsing, EFM delivers a symmetric bandwidth with the same speed offered upstream toward the internet or wide area network and downstream to the site. You can also have a managed solution which includes a router. This provides important feedback on your service and can put measures in place to ensure your service runs at the optimum speed constantly.
Being totally uncontented, EFM circuits mean you never share bandwidth with other users on the same exchange. Also, because EFM uses multiple copper wires, it is more reliable than ADSL so when one wire fails, your service will not automatically cut out.
Excellent middle ground
You no doubt want to benefit from the best possible value for money when it comes to your internet connectivity package. EFM can represent a cost-effective compromise between standard broadband and fibre Ethernet solutions.
As mentioned previously, EFM systems are more reliable than standard ADSL and they can support a significantly higher bandwidth. At the same time, they do not cost as much as fibre Ethernet circuits. As an effective mid-range option that delivers the best of both worlds, EFM has been adopted by many companies seeking a more accessible solution.
