CityFibre Generic Ethernet Access
CityFibre Generic Ethernet Access - also known as CityFibre GEA - is an entry level form of ethernet connectivity. It uses copper between the premises and the cabinet, and then fibre to the exchange.
Costs and installation times are much lower than other CityFibre Ethernet services - but symmetric speeds of up to 20mbps are still achievable.
The service includes installation in as little as 18 days, 100% SLA, return-to-service guarantee of 9 hours, 24/7 monitoring, various bandwidth options, and a managed Cisco router as standard.
Even better, new CityFibre SoGEA - Single order GEA - allows you to order the service in one go without ordering a PSTN telephone line first. Contact us for more information.
