With Connect In Cloud, your business can get super-reliable broadband access without having to deal with a regular phone line or multiple suppliers.
Single Order Generic Ethernet Access (SoGEA) is a broadband service that gives your business everything it needs to get online.
Connect In Cloud’s SoGEA broadband has a number of important features and benefits, such as:
Performance: It delivers the same performance and data levels as FTTC (fibre to the cabinet).
Simplicity & Cost: It removes the need for the installation of a traditional phone line, making it a cost-effective alternative to broadband without including an unwanted phone line.
Speed: SoGEA broadband offers speeds of up to $80\text{Mbs}$.
Consolidation: The service can be combined with a VoIP service (such as Horizon or PhoneLine+) to consolidate your phone and broadband service into one connection, allowing you to transfer your old phone number and business broadband service into one connection.
Connect In Cloud uses the same reliable fibre technology as FTTC to offer SoGEA broadband with download speeds of up to 80 Mbps. Don’t worry about bills: all packages come with a “unmetered” usage policy, which means you can use as much data as you want for a single, predictable monthly rental fee.
Connect In Cloud offers SoGEA as a simple, broadband-only solution. You save money by not using a regular landline, and the single-order process makes it easy to set up. Also, going forward, you will only have to deal with one person for all of your service questions.
The UK network is moving from the old PSTN to a full fibre network. Connect In Cloud helps your business make this digital change by giving you fast, reliable, and affordable internet access. Our SoGEA broadband solution keeps your business connected and ready for the inevitable move to a fully digital world.
SoGEA is a special internet line that goes around the regular PSTN phone line. It uses strong fibre technology, like FTTC. Connect In Cloud combines phone and broadband into one order through VoIP, so you don’t have to place two separate orders. Switch to SoGEA now, before the PSTN goes away for good in the next few years.
Connect In Cloud offers SoGEA broadband, which sends data from the local exchange to the PCP (green street cabinets) to your home using fiber-based technology. This has faster speeds of up to $80\text{Mbps}$ and is more stable than regular copper lines. SoGEA is a better choice for any business than PSTN because it has a more stable connection and a much lower chance of downtime.
With Connect In Cloud, you’ll be up and running in no time thanks to a quick installation and a stable connection. You don’t have to run around to report and fix connection problems with different suppliers because everything is in one place. This makes life much easier. Above all, a SoGEA line will keep you connected in the future as the UK moves to an all-IP network.
SoGEA is designed to meet the growing demand for high speed business broadband without the need for a landline. Created from the Openreach fibre to the cabinet infrastructure, SoGEA broadband can deliver superfast speeds of up to 80Mbps, suitable for business currently running an analogue PSTN line.
Yes, SoGEA broadband uses fibre optic cables from the local exchange to the PCP (the green street cabinets). From the cabinet the service is supplied to your premises using copper cables. Although this “looks like” traditional Fibre Broadband (FTTC), the line coming into the premises is a SoGEA data line not a phone line and therefore won’t be impacted by the PTSN switch off in 2025.
Openreach is updating local telephone exchanges across the country – switching off the traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN) and upgrading to a full fibre network to enable fast, reliable and cost-effective connectivity. SoGEA broadband will ensure your business stays in touch and ready for an all-digital future!
SoGEA stands for Single Order Generic Ethernet Access and provides your business broadband connection, without the need for a traditional PSTN line which forced businesses to have a connection for both a broadband and phone line. So, rather than having one supplier for your phone line and another for your internet services, SoGEA broadband provides everything you need to connect your business is in one place.
A SoGEA broadband connection provides you with the high-speed fibre broadband only connection you need to run your business efficiently, without the need to connect and pay for a separate phone line. Saving your business time and money! SoGEA lines are replacing the Openreach PSTN network as it is being switch off over the next few years, meaning those who don't switch to a SoGEA line or fibre alternative will lose their business broadband connection when it is inevitably phased out. SoGEA is now available SoGEA broadband lines are available at over 28 million premises around the UK.
Yes, absolutely. using a an internet-based VoIP (voice over internet protocol) telecoms solution – such as PhoneLine+ or Gamma Horizon to run in parallel with SoGEA broadband you will be able to bring your business phone number with you when you switch to a SoGEA line. Your supplier will be able to port your existing business phone number(s) to your new service, providing all of the benefits of a VoIP phone system while maintaining current phone number(s).
