Managed Internet
Business broadband, dedicated Ethernet and the network inside your building. Plan connectivity, Wi-Fi, security and backup around the people and applications using them.
Managed internet for offices and multi-tenant buildings
Your business depends on reliable, high-speed connectivity, and what that means in practice varies from site to site. We deliver secure, prioritised voice and data across LAN, WAN and internet breakout, covering everything from a standard broadband line at a single office through to a full MPLS network across every site. The right answer depends on the address, what the connection has to carry and how much depends on it staying up.
Plenty of what a business runs now leans on upload as heavily as download: cloud backup, video calls, hosted telephony, files moving off site all day. That is where Ethernet earns its place — synchronous and dedicated, with fix-time SLAs on the circuit and a committed data rate set to what the site actually needs, scaling as far as 100Gb. Low-latency wavelength fibre and IP transit sit beyond it, where capacity or latency is the real constraint.
We assess the exact installation address, usage and budget before recommending a connection. Inside the building, structured cabling, switches and business Wi-Fi matter just as much as the incoming circuit. Agree which equipment is managed, who changes settings, how faults are escalated and which support hours and service commitments are included in the proposal.
Managed internet for buildings needs a clear responsibility map. In a multi-tenant office or shared workspace, establish whether occupiers use separate connections or a shared service, who authorises installation and how staff, tenants and visitors are separated on the network. Landlord permissions, internal cable routes, Wi-Fi coverage and power for network equipment should be planned before the circuit arrives.
Why Businesses Choose Managed Internet
Business Broadband
Compare the Full Fibre or other business broadband service available at your address, including upload speeds and support terms.
Ethernet & Leased Lines
Guaranteed synchronous speeds from 100Mbps to 100Gbps. Dedicated bandwidth with fix-time SLAs — ideal for multi-user and multi-site businesses.
GSM & 4G/5G Backup
High-quality connectivity for remote areas and brownfield sites, or secure failover for critical applications. Network-agnostic SIMs with 24/7 monitoring.
LAN & WAN
Managed and SD-WAN solutions for multi-site connectivity. Reliable LAN with staff and visitor access controls, cabled and WiFi options, and 24/7 hardware support.
WiFi & Structured Cabling
Full WiFi consultancy, design and managed service with guest and corporate network segregation. Structured cabling with free survey and upwardly compatible installations.
Fibre, Radio & Laser Links
Internal and external fibre optic installation beyond 90m cabling limits. Laser and radio links delivering up to 2.5Gbps — a cost-effective alternative to fibre between buildings.

- Ethernet options at 1Gb, 10Gb and 100Gb, with lower tiers where a site needs less
- Custom committed data rates, set to what the site actually uses rather than a fixed package
- Ethernet Lite over copper — EFM, GEA and EoFTTC — where fibre Ethernet is not available
- Fix-time SLA guarantees, including Service Assured circuits
- Low-latency wavelength fibre at 1Gb, 10Gb and 100Gb
- Internet transit with hosted AS numbers
- Point-to-point dedicated connections between sites
- Phishing, malware and data leakage protection on the connection
- Application management and prioritisation, so voice is not left competing with bulk data
Managed Internet — Common Questions
How do I know whether we need broadband or an Ethernet circuit?
Compare the upstream and downstream profile, committed capacity, written repair terms and the effect of downtime on the business. Some Full Fibre products offer symmetric speeds, so symmetry alone does not define a leased line. Check the service available at the exact address, then choose the access type and any backup against your actual requirements.
What happens when the primary line goes down?
A configured backup connection can provide an alternative path, subject to mobile reception, router setup and power. Test voice, VPNs, payments and other critical applications on that path rather than assuming every service continues unchanged. Include monitoring, escalation and recovery to the primary circuit in the agreed design; no connection removes every possible outage.
Can you connect several sites together?
Yes. That ranges from a managed WAN or SD-WAN, through point-to-point circuits between two buildings, to an MPLS network covering the whole estate. Which one fits depends on how many sites you run, how much traffic crosses between them and what has to keep working if a single link fails. We size it against your sites rather than a standard package.
Do you handle the network inside the building, or only the circuit into it?
We can include structured cabling, LAN switching and business Wi-Fi alongside the incoming circuit. Define the premises, managed equipment, access controls and support responsibilities in the proposal. A survey checks cable routes, coverage and installation constraints so that responsibility does not stop at a router while users still have unresolved problems inside the building.
Is security handled on the connection itself?
Yes. Phishing, malware and data leakage protection can sit on the connection itself, filtering traffic before it reaches your network rather than only at the endpoint. Application management and prioritisation run alongside it, keeping voice and business traffic ahead of everything else sharing the link. It does not replace endpoint security, but it removes a lot of noise before it arrives.
What should a landlord or shared-office operator plan before ordering managed internet?
Agree who orders and pays for the service, who can authorise building works, and whether occupiers need separate connections or segregated access to a shared network. Check installation routes, Wi-Fi coverage, guest access and support ownership. Those decisions affect the design and quote; one incoming connection should not be mistaken for a complete tenant network.
What is included in a managed internet service?
The scope can combine a business connection with router management, monitoring, support, Wi-Fi and security controls, but the word managed does not define a standard package. Ask for the equipment list, configuration responsibilities, support hours, escalation process and any backup arrangements in writing. Compare those details alongside speed and monthly rental.
