Ethernet over fibre to the cabinet
EOFTTC is a super-fast connection that works using your existing copper infrastructure to the cabinet but then uses ethernet fibre to the exchange.
Because of the guaranteed rapid upload and download speeds that this provides, EOFTTC is a perfect solution for your business. Typically, this along with Fibre to the premises (FTTP) is offered as a business solution as a standard broadband connection is usually sufficient for most households. EOFTTC is usually a contended line which means you do not share the bandwidth with others once it leaves your building. With normal household use, uncontended line issues will seemingly go unnoticed, but for businesses where the connection is critical, this can cause issues at peak times.
What is EOFTTC?
Ethernet over fibre to the cabinet bridges the gap between dedicated ethernet services and value broadband services. It enables you to enjoy the speed and reliability of a full ethernet connection without the cost.
EOFTTC is a great option for businesses that are having issues with speeds but don’t necessarily need or want to pay the prices for a leased line. FTTP (fibre to the premises) or as it is more commonly known, a leased line, replaces the copper wiring to your business too so that you have a full-fibre connection. FTTP offers the fastest speeds and foolhardy connection but is not always available in certain areas. Our team of engineers are located nationwide and has great knowledge of local availability to be able to advise you impartially.
How does EOFTTC work?
EOFTTC works by bridging the gap and providing you with the best of both worlds. Using your current structure into your business but utilising a fast fibre connection to the exchange. It builds on the more traditional ethernet networking but the setup and process is much more cost-effective and more simple to install than the full fibre leased line option.
Benefits of EOFTTC with the WiFi Specialist
As businesses become more and more reliant on internet connections it can be more than a frustration when lines are slow or keep dropping out. Leased lines provide a fast and stable connection but can be a huge monthly outgoing for any business to sign up to and costly to get out of the contract should your situation change.
EOFTTC is the perfect solution as it provides the speed and stability of a leased line without the hassle of installation and the large ongoing costs.
Ethernet over fibre to the cabinet has been designed with business owners in mind and as such come with excellent service level agreements. The level of uptime is guaranteed at 99.9% so the line is extremely reliable.
As with a leased line you will have a 1:1 contention ratio, meaning you will not share your broadband with other users in the area.
Here at the WiFi Specialist, we have years of experience and knowledge to pass on to our customers. Your local specialist engineer will know your local area and the connectivity issues and line availability accessible to you. We have extensive experience with business networks and will be able to carry out a full and comprehensive site survey to ensure you are getting the best from your solution.
Why should I opt for EOFTTC over standard broadband?
If you are a relatively small business that doesn’t rely on an internet connection, then a standard broadband connection may be a valid option.
However, if you are noticing that your speeds slow at certain points of the day, or that your connection is dropping in and out and it is causing you problems, EOFTTC may be the best option for you. Your local engineer will be happy to discuss your requirements and will then be able to inform you of the best route to take.

Our Happy Clients
I was struggling to get a decent wifi signal down to the garden office until the Wifi Specialists recommended a Point to Point kit. Now the internet is faster in the office than it is in the house. The guys did a great job installing too, keeping all the cabling very neat and hidden wherever possible. Even sorted out the TV aerial cable while they were doing the P2P cabling! Great service, strongly recommend.
Richard G
Couldn't recommend Indy more highly. They helped us implement an effective corporate wifi solution at very short notice. Communication throughout was excellent and we look forward to working with them again.
Francesca M
Indy and Rakki are first class guys, they did a professional job in record time and I ended up with a better router indoors as well as the Access point outdoors which now covers the whole garden. Definitely recommend the Wifi specialists.

I'm absolute delighted with the service provided by The WiFi Specialist in running an ethernet cable out to my garden office. Indy was extremely helpful in discussion the options available to me, and recommending the right approach, and the work was carried out efficiently and with minimum disruption. I'm thrilled to now have a secure connection, and would definitely recommend The WiFi Specialist to anyone looking to improve connectivity.

Excellent, knowledgeable, seamless experience with Indy and team. Not to mention my now perfect wifi!
Sarah K
I had been struggling with my wifi signal around my house for a number of years and the situation only got worse as we moved to remote working. After many attempts to get the issue addressed through the local ISP, I (my wife and kids) decided that I needed a specialist to come in. Indy made the whole process very simple from the initial site visit, design guidance and installation. I had my house refurbished a few years ago so adding new cabling around the house needed knowledge and experience. Indy and Rak did a great job at concealing the cat6 cables and provided a professional finish. I now have full wifi signal all around the house, garden and garage. I would highly recommend The Wi-Fi Specialist. Thank you.
Amarjit K
The IT service from this company was exemplary and resulted in a very good WiFi signal throughout the house. Indy was generous with his time and explained the technology well, without trying to sell equipment that would have been unnecessary for a domestic installation. He is friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. It was a great pleasure to work with him.
