EFM Leased Lines

Vaioni boasts the largest UK Aggregated Ethernet Fabric of any ISP, meaning we provide better reach than anyone else for Ethernet First Mile based leased lines. As an independent provider of EFM and Ethernet Services, we interconnect and partner with more Telco networks and carriers than anyone else in the industry and not only do we have the biggest reach, we also offer great flexibility and choice for high performance, Next Generation, leased lines. Our business is designed specifically in the delivery and management of copper and fibre based leased lines to cutting edge businesses across the UK.

We have built an intelligent and advanced Carrier Ethernet infrastructure which we own and operate, far more advanced and superior than the average ISP or broadband ISP who dabble in Ethernet and leased lines services. We class ourselves as a direct alternative to BT, Virgin Media and C&W because of our experience and focus in EFM, leased lines and Ethernet services. Our network infrastructure and support teams have been designed and developed to manage high SLA driven, high performance connectivity services which businesses rely on to run mission critical applications everyday.

We are one of the only EFM providers in the UK to offer a 100% compensation SLA, stronger than even BT's SLA. This means that your business benefits from a money back guarantee in the event your EFM leased line fails to meet the high standard of service a Vaioni EFM leased line offers. Although our aim is to deliver a 100% fault free service, we guarantee at least a 99.96% up-time SLA and a 4-hour guaranteed fix on hardware faults.

Our routes offer super-fast access to any part of the world fast. We achieve this through quality peering agreements and our primary transit providers Level3 and Global Crossing. These two primary transit providers are rates regularly rated as the 2 top providers of transit, with best route to destination and latency.

This is a Vaioni leased line and this is what makes our Ethernet so extraordinary.

What is Ethernet First Mile?
Ethernet First Mile, also known as EFM or Ethernet over Copper (EoC) is the latest Ethernet technology delivering high quality, syncronous internet leased line services delivered over copper wires and is a direct and more cost effective delivery mechanism over Fibre-Optic. The official and technical name for this standard is known as IEEE Std 802.3ah-2004. It is also more commonly known as an ethernet leased line, DIA line, data circuit or private circuit.

Does EFM give the same SLA as Fibre-Optic?
The short answer is yes. Vaioni offers the same up-time SLA and guarantees as our Fibre-Optic based leased lines. We do not differentiate between any of our Ethernet services. The delivery of QoS and other advanced features you would normally expect from a fibre-optic based leased line is also the same.

What speed of EFM is available through Vaioni?
EFM varies in available speeds. In the UK EFM is available up to a maximum of 20mb, but as technology improves, expected speeds will go beyond 40mb. A key advantage with a Vaioni EFM service is we have the ability to offer fixed speed guarantees instead of "up to" speeds which is quite common in the marketplace. Just like a fibre-optic internet leased line, EFM is uncontended.
