Business-only Ethernet access over FTTP
Ethernet over FTTP
A full-fibre access option delivered onto a business Ethernet platform, offering more defined service characteristics than ordinary broadband with a simpler installation profile than a traditional fibre build.
Business Ethernet · Managed by SCG Solutions
- Full-fibre access onto a business Ethernet platform
- Download access options up to 1Gbps on the referenced service
- Layer 2 Ethernet or Direct Internet Access deployment choices
We'll confirm the address-level availability, estimated performance, installation requirements, service commitments and current commercial terms.
Availability and specification confirmed at quote. Information reviewed by SCG Solutions on .
Technical profile
The profile below explains the role of the technology. The exact carrier product, bandwidth and contractual commitment are confirmed after an address and requirements check.
- Access technology
- Full fibre from the premises to the nearest enabled Ethernet node, delivered using established FTTP infrastructure
- Bandwidth profile
- A range of access and committed-bandwidth options; the referenced BT Wholesale service supports download access up to 1Gbps
- Service level
- Business-only Ethernet platform with defined availability and repair targets that are confirmed in the SCG Solutions proposal
- Resilience
- Can form a primary or secondary business circuit; physical route and shared infrastructure must be checked before calling it diverse
- Installation
- Usually faster and simpler than a new dedicated Etherway fibre build, but remains subject to survey, address availability and access
- Network design
- Can support layer 2 site connectivity or layer 3 internet access, with routing, firewall and IP design set around the wider estate
Technology reference: BT Wholesale Ethernet over FTTP information ↗. SCG Solutions may use another suitable UK carrier or platform where it provides a better fit.
Workload and risk
Where this connection fits
- Smaller offices and satellite sites that need business Ethernet characteristics without a bespoke fibre construction project
- Organisations that want a more predictable step between standard FTTP broadband and a traditional leased-line build
A useful proposal needs detail
What shapes the quote
- 1Premises availability, required access speed and committed bandwidth
- 2Layer 2 site-to-site or layer 3 internet requirement, including IP addressing and routing
- 3Target delivery date, service level and whether a diverse second path is required

Deployment and resilience planning
The circuit is only one part of a working service. SCG Solutions coordinates the availability check, carrier order, site access, router and security configuration, testing, monitoring and handover.
Network configuration
Prepare addressing, firewall, traffic policy, monitoring and the handoff into the existing LAN and Wi-Fi.
Failover test
Prove what moves to the secondary path, how long recovery takes and how traffic returns to normal.
Ongoing ownership
Give the business one support route across the managed circuit and the equipment around it.
Build the wider service around managed business Wi-Fi, network cabling, cyber security and business continuity.
