Internet access
South West Communications Group understands the needs and high service levels demanded by today’s business community and has designed a portfolio of Internet access solutions that take into account the range of different Internet technologies available and their application to commercial requirements.
The Internet access solutions that South West Communications Group currently offers include:-
Broadband (ADSL) - We offer three levels of business broadband service, namely:
-
Select
-
Advantage
-
Fusion
These all of which offer up to 20Mb* of non-contended Internet download speed (* subject to availability and distance from exchange). These uncontended services at exchange level ensure that the bandwidth is dedicated to you alone, as opposed to standard ADSL offerings where contention ratios of up to 50:1 are common place, meaning that you share your bandwidth with up to 49 other users.
We can seamlessly migrate customers from any other Internet Service Provider. Services can either be delivered on an existing PSTN line or via a new line provided by South West Communications Group which can be provided the same day as the ADSL circuit thus minimizing lead times (typically to 10 days).
All ADSL offerings include routers, static IP addresses, 24/7/365 telephone support together with service levels offering up to 8 clock hours best endeavors fix.
Unmanaged Internet leased lines - Depending on the nature of Internet traffic, it can be necessary to install dedicated Internet leased line connections which offer secure private connections directly to the Internet backbone delivering between 2-100Mb bandwidths.
These leased lines provide full duplex which means that the full bandwidth is available both for upload and download. Moreover as this type of connection is based on leased line connectivity, the associated service levels far exceed those available with broadband.
Managed Internet access - As an Internet Service Provider (ISP), South West Communications Group can provide fully managed, resilient access to the Internet via their industry-leading Data Centre in Exeter. As this is a managed service, we are able to flex the bandwidth available on customer demand, report on bandwidth utilization and provide full firewall protection at cloud level protecting the integrity of your network. Our customers can purchase extra bandwidth as and when it is required either on a month to month basis or by taking advantage of our percentile charging scheme.
We are also able to operate as a central hub to deliver centralized Internet access to multiple offices. Moreover where business drivers require, we can provide hosted web and mail servers at our Data Centre to facilitate a secure, resilient environment to ensure full access to the web at all times meaning that your website will never be offline.
Internet services - Common to all of the above means of connectivity, South West Communications Group offers anti-virus, anti-spam, content filtering and image control services at cloud level, which means that your bandwidth and network will not be affected by unwanted mail. The effect of keeping unwanted traffic off your Internet connections can be dramatic with one customer recently reporting a drop of 83% in traffic after implementing anti-spam measures.
South West Communications Group has used its expertise to design and install perfect ISP solutions for companies across the UK, including Harrier LLC.
