Upgrade your connectivity with SoGEA broadband
Full Fibre Broadband (SoGEA) provides businesses with a fast, reliable, and cost-effective internet connection without the need for a traditional phone line. Built on Openreach's fibre network, SoGEA delivers the performance required to support cloud applications, video conferencing, VoIP telephony, and day-to-day business operations.
Unlike Fibre to the Premises, which relies on full fibre connectivity directly into the building, SoGEA uses a fibre connection to the local cabinet before utilising existing infrastructure for the final connection. This means it is available in many more locations across the UK and can often be deployed more quickly.
