BTnet & BTnet Express Lines

Openreach has made it its mission to build the best possible network with the highest quality of service, to make sure that everyone within your organisation can be connected. Openreach manages BT’s local access network, which connects customers to their local telephone exchange.

BT Openreach Leased Line FAQs
It’s the same as any other leased line! A BT leased line provides a dedicated connection for your business so you don’t have to worry about contending with other users – you’ll be the only ones using it! You’ll also get fixed bandwidth and you’ll get symmetrical upload and download speeds.
A 100MB leased line is an increasingly popular option for UK businesses as the 100MB package is able to handle higher demands, offers enhanced reliability and gives increased WAN utilisation. Price does vary depending on the provider you choose but the price is around double the amount you’d pay for a 10MB connection. However, here at Superfast we also offer gigabit internet lines if your business wants a little extra.
There are several different types of leased lines available. All suit different budgets and different business needs. They include:
Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) – EFM provides an end-to-end solution using multiple copper wires to connect your business to the Ethernet core network. Ideal where fibre Ethernet is not currently available or would be costly to install.
Generic Ethernet Access (GEA) or Ethernet over Fibre to the Cabinet (EoFTTC) – A hybrid solution where existing fibre or copper cables connect your business to the street cabinet before a dedicated Ethernet line carries your data to the core network.
Leased Line or Fibre Ethernet – The ultimate end-to-end connectivity solution which offers unparalleled levels of speed and reliability. It can be implemented in most locations whether fibre is currently available or not.
Fibre Flex Leased Line – Commit to a low cost minimum bandwidth i.e. 200Mb and you will get burstable bandwidth of up to 1Gb when available, at no extra cost.
Point-to-Point – Perfect for connecting two or more offices in different locations and ensures your data is secure and your network performance is more reliable.
Although we do carry out comparisons of the entire market on your behalf to find you the best deal, we’ll also act as your internet service provider so you’ll be contracted with us.
Don’t worry though, we’ll supply you with dedicated project management to ensure your leased line is delivered much faster than the industry standard and we’ll be there for you throughout your contract term should you need anything at all.
We won’t directly take over an existing leased line order from another supplier because of issues surrounding service guarantees and continuity. As the fibre has been in the ground, the only way to ensure the leased line is able to uphold its SLAs is by supplying a new connection. However, if there’s existing fibre infrastructure we can test the line installed and, if it meets our standards it can reduce the connection time to as little as six weeks.

Why Superfast ?
Why should we consider BT Openreach?
BT Openreach solutions offer good, all-round value and are suitable for businesses of any size.
The nearer you are to a town or city, the lower the cost and the more chance there will be of a viable route to get a BT Openreach Leased Line into your building.
BT Wholesale Leased Lines now cover the majority of the UK but there will always be a few problem areas which may require the exploration of other technologies such as 5G.
How long does it take to install a Leased Line?
There are a number of factors that can impact the time it takes to implement a BT Leased Line so while we indicate that it will take on average 60 working days, in reality this will depend on the outcome of any site surveys we conduct and whether any works are needed that will require the input of outside agencies, such as local councils or landlords.
The good news is that as we manage the provisioning process of your BT Leased Line ourselves. Your dedicated account manager along side our provisioning team will be able to keep you updated on the progress of the order makes its way through the process up until connection.
What speeds can a BT Leased Line deliver?
Leased Lines from BT are able to provide speeds ranging from 10 Mbps right the way up to 10 Gbps depending on the location and the application required by you, the customer!
BT Openreach are always able to deliver speeds suitable for every business of every size so, whether you you an small manufacturer or a large corporate business with multiple offices there is always a product available to suit.
The most common speed ordered via BT in the UK at time of writing (May 2020) is 100Mbps but as data hungry applications, software and telephone systems evolve, this will likely rise to the standard becoming 1 Gbps within the next decade.
What equipment is needed?
With all of our BT Leased Lines, we provide top of the range Cisco routers (or equivalent) which are delivered to you pre-configured out of the box for you or your IT team to simply “plug and play”.
If a router that we’ve provided fails, we’ll arrange for a pre-configured replacement to be couriered to your business site on the next working day. Replacements will be made on a like-for-like basis.
