Allan McEwan, CityFibre development manager for Aberdeen.

How is CityFibre different?

Some internet connections and many services in the UK are labelled as ‘fibre broadband’, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re full fibre connections. CityFibre connections are.

Fibre broadband is most commonly used to describe FTTC (fibre to the cabinet) technology. With these connection types, fibre is used for most of the journey, but the last leg – from the cabinet on the street to your business – is usually made of copper cable. This can significantly reduce the bandwidth you actually receive.

Get a CityFibre connection through Amvia, and you’ll have access to a full-fibre connection that transmits your data (in the form of light down glass fibre-optic cables) through lightning fast and reliable broadband services capable of Gigabit speeds (1000 Mbps).

Will CityFibre benefit your business?

Many Aberdeen businesses would find substantial benefit in updating to a CityFibre connection.

Meeting customers ever-increasing expectations and staying in front of the competition and ahead of the curve is becoming increasingly difficult. With superfast CityFibre connectivity, your entire operation can run faster, with more continuity and online security.

Designed to handle any combination of voice, data and internet use, when you join the CityFibre network, you can get a high-performance, always available, fixed-cost connection from 10Mbps to 10Gbps.

And when you join the CityFibre network, you’re planning for the future, too. Anticipated growth is covered through the flexibility of being able to easily and quickly increase your requirements as and when required.

Should you choose Ethernet or GPON for your business?

With Amvia, you can choose an Ethernet or GPON CityFibre connection. Both have a variety of benefits to bring your business firmly into the gigabit revolution, and either option will considerably enhance your connectivity.

What is a GPON CityFibre connection?

CityFibre GPON (Gigabyte Passive Optical Networks) is a powerful contended leased line. Two service speeds are available with Amvia on GPON – 500Mbps and 1Gbps.

Although a contended line means a shared line, the CityFibre speeds are so high that the contention should go unnoticed. And even if the contention ever impacted your business, you’d be moved to a dedicated service at no additional cost.

What is an Ethernet CityFibre connection?

An Ethernet connection is a somewhat more traditional leased line service. You can pretty much get any speed you want starting at 100Mbps.

Ethernet services are 1:1 contention, which essentially means they’re not contended at all. It’s a dedicated connection for your business, so you get the whole speed you purchase, all day every day.

Below, we take a further look at the benefits of each connection type and which would be most suited to your business.

CityFibre Ethernet with Amvia

An Ethernet leased line is ideal for businesses that are heavily dependent on reliable connectivity.

This could come in the form of access to critical applications for employees and teams across locations, reliance on cloud-based hosting, heavy use of VoIP (voice over internet protocol), or lots of video conferencing.

Basically, if you want to improve efficiency across the board or require continuous and faster internet access, a CityFibre Ethernet connection with Amvia could be the way to go.

CityFibre GPON with Amvia

GPON is a cost-effective version of full fibre connectivity. It’s perfectly suited to businesses wanting to balance high speed with price, while maintaining reliability.
