Metro Ethernet Circuits

BT owns, and charges for, the copper infrastructure that is employed to terminate most Ethernet Circuits (regardless of supplier) at your premises.

With its own wireless infrastructure, Metronet uniquely supplies Metro Ethernet Circuits independently of BT: secure connections to any number of sites based on a simple pricing structure that cannot be matched by any other Supplier.

For immediate compatibility with your communications systems and applications (e.g. IP Telephony/VOIP, video streaming, etc), Metronet's Metro Ethernet Circuits are terminated using a standard Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network) interface.

Metronet installs fully managed, VLAN capable CPE at your sites, allowing full management of your point to point Metro Ethernet Circuits, and a simple upgrade path if additional private circuits are required.

With Metronet you specify anything from a simple point to point Ethernet Circuit connecting two locations, through to a meshed network servicing complex inter-branch IP (Internet Protocol) connectivity requirements.

Costing your network is simple and straightforward. Unlike other Service Providers, Metronet will not bombard you with myriad options, and pricing based on bandwidth, distance from a local exchange, service type, etc. Metronet charges a flat fee low cost installation and a simple pricing structure. For example, 10Mbps Ethernet Circuits are installed for just £500 with a monthly rental that is a fifth of the price of alternative wire-based circuits.

Unlike low end consumer ADSL/SDSL services, Metronet provides true 1:1 contention across all of its connections. Simply put, your 10Mbps bandwidth will not be compromised by other Users of the network and, because Metronet's Point to Point Ethernet Private Circuits are fully symmetrical, you will benefit from equal levels of performance whether uploading or downloading data.

Security is paramount, and Metronet guarantees the integrity of your data. This is achieved using a proprietary infrastructure overlaid with encryption to prevent eavesdropping.

Add a typical installation service of less than 5 working days, and it is little wonder that public and private sector organisations are increasingly turning to Metronet. Call 0161 241 6242 to discuss your leased line connectivity requirements, and get a simple no nonsense quotation.
