What is SoGEA Broadband?

Delivered by Vanilla Cloud, SoGEA broadband provides you with everything you need to connect your business to the internet. SoGEA, which stands for Single Order Generic Ethernet Access, is a broadband service which delivers the same performance and data levels as FTTC (fibre to the cabinet) but it takes the need for the installation of a traditional phone line out of the equation so it provides a cost effective alternative to broadband without including an unwanted phone line. SoGEA broadband offers speeds of up to 80Mbs and can be combined with a VoIP service such as Horizon or Phoneline+ to provide phone and broadband to your premises, allowing you to transfer your old phone number and business broadband service into one connection.

SoGEA is a dedicated internet line that delivers a broadband connection to business premises but it doesn’t run over a traditional PSTN (public switched telephone network) phone line, instead using the same fibre-based technology as FTTC. So, you no longer need to make two orders to have phone and broadband, one for PSTN and then a separate broadband order. SoGEA broadband works with VoIP technology, combining these services into in a single order. With PSTN becoming outdated and slowly being replaced there is no better time to adopt and SoGEA broadband service, moving your businesses away from PSTN technology before it is invitably switch off over the next few years.
