Ethernet Connectivity
What is Ethernet?
Ethernet is a similar product to ADSL2 when delivered over traditional phone lines, however it can be delivered by Fibre if available in your particular area.
- Ethernet over Copper (EoC) is most commonly available in areas where the phone exchange is enabled for this technology. Exchange locations are expanding daily with this service and most metropolitan areas are serviced.
- Ethernet over Fibre provides a substantial quality difference but its availability is limited to where Fibre is available and the access price is typically higher
Ethernet Internet connections offer a synchronous connection speed - meaning the same speed for uploads and downloads is achieved. This allows your site to utilise the link more effectively when allowing incoming connections from remote offsite users (such as Home users or 'On the road' Sales staff) as well as faster upload speeds for sending data such as email, files or WAN sharing between national offices. This is a dedicated business grade service and as such has a faster level of fault restoration as well as no other users on the line.
Our Ethernet products are provisioned using a 1:1 contention ratio meaning you are not sharing the line with any other users. It is a dedicated line for your site.
Why use Ethernet
Some common uses our clients use Ethernet for are:
- Head Office to Data Centre Terminal Servers and VPN connections
- Satellite Office to Head Office Terminal Servers and VPN connections
- Head Office to Data Centre Offsite Backup services
- Large file transfer business requirements such as Media or Print houses
- Offsite staff accessing information from Head Office
- Co-location of client servers in-house
- Access to Cloud Services to their clients
Unlimited WAN data transfers
Ethernet connectivity is a reliable yet cost effective method to allowing connectivity between your site and a hosted server in a Data Centre or Multi-Point connection where one or more sites can be interlinked. If you order Ethernet services from Cynergic and host a server or multiple servers with us via way of co-location or virtual servers, then we will provide you with unlimited traffic transfers between your site and that co-located server/s. You can then use the Ethernet service to run offsite backups, or any other non Internet data services.
Ethernet Speeds
Ethernet speed is influenced heavily by the distance of your site to the exchange. Our services (over copper phone lines) are stated as 'up to' X Mbit. They do not constitute the exact speed or speeds above. We will always advise what the approximate speed will be to your site and ensure you get as close to if not over your required connection speed if possible. If your site is over 3Klms to the Exchange you will require a 4 pair service to achieve speeds over 5Mbit.
Pricing
Installation costs may increase depending on the amount of available lines in your building or if new ones are to be run. Most residential SOHO type offices will not have the required cabling - so please factor this into your purchase.
Installation costs outlined here are for the initial setup and the equipment needed to access the service. You may select a cabling contractor of your choice or we can assist in locating one to perform any additional required cabling. Support costs in case of outages and repairs are covered by the monthly fee as are any changes required to your onsite Router. Install timeframes are typically between 20 - 30 business days.
