Business Ethernet & Fibre
Dedicated, high-capacity business internet over fibre Ethernet, designed and managed by Sequential Networks on our own and the UK’s largest wholesale networks.
HIGH CAPACITY, LOW LATENCY · SYMMETRIC FIBRE ETHERNET · UK-WIDE REACH · ISO 27001 & 9001 · UK SUPPORT
Business Ethernet gives you dedicated, symmetrical connectivity built for the things your business actually runs on: cloud, voice, video and data. Sequential delivers it over our own network and the UK’s largest wholesale carriers, so we can put the right access type into almost any site, and we extend that reach to over 130 countries through international partners.
What is business Ethernet?
Business Ethernet is high-capacity, low-latency connectivity delivered over fibre (or bonded copper where fibre has not reached yet). Unlike standard broadband, which is shared and best-effort, Ethernet services give you guaranteed, symmetrical performance backed by a service-level agreement.
It is a family of options rather than one product, from full fibre Ethernet down to more affordable access types, so you only pay for what each site needs.
Why choose Sequential connectivity
Connectivity is only as good as the network and the people behind it. Here is what you get with ours:
- Our own network plus the UK’s largest wholesale carriers: broad reach and the right access type for every site.

- Rapid, automated delivery: our partner was the first UK carrier to fully embrace network automation, cutting delivery times and adding customisation.
- Global reach: connectivity extended to over 130 countries through key international partners.
- Resilience built in: diverse routing and failover options, because downtime is no longer acceptable.
- One ready-made ecosystem: connectivity, cloud, voice and colocation from a single supplier.

Frequently asked questions
What is business Ethernet?
Dedicated, symmetrical business connectivity delivered over fibre, or bonded copper where fibre has not reached, with guaranteed performance and a service-level agreement, unlike shared broadband.
What access types do you offer?
Fibre Ethernet, EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile), EoFTTC and full leased lines, so we can serve almost any site with the right option.
How is it different from a leased line?
A leased line is a fully dedicated Ethernet circuit with the highest guarantees. Our Ethernet range also includes lower-cost options such as EFM and EoFTTC for sites that do not need a full leased line.
How fast can you deliver?
We use network automation to speed up provisioning. Exact timescales depend on the access type and the site.
Can you reach international sites?
Yes. Our connectivity extends to over 130 countries through key international partners.
Is it resilient?
Yes. We build in diverse routing and failover options so your business stays online when connectivity matters most.
