EoFTTC

Can anybody on here offer any feedback based on direct experience of an EoFTTC service?

It isnt clear if the dedicated downstream bandwidth is just the first 20Mb or the full capability of the connection. i.e. If the FTTC connection currently syncs at 80/20, on EoFTTC would the 80Mb be dedicated or just the first 20Mb dedicated with the rest coming from shared availability?

Please excuse my ignorance, what is �EoFTTC� ?

Ethernet over FTTC.

Relies on the committed rate of the services over the fibre back to the handover exchange, i.e. they pick an above 20 Mbps committed rate product from Openreach, and at handover and beyond should be ensuring similar capacity available

There ya go, one lives and learns

None the wiser to what it actually is as a product, how is it delivered, and by whom ?

A relatively cheaper way to create a low speed point to point link instead of dedicated point to point fibre leased line

This might be of help:

In reference to www.talktalkbusiness.co.uk/partners/news-and-insight/blogs/eofttc-i...:

Only TalkTalk Business and BT Wholesale provide a wholesale variant of this product. The main difference is that we allow burst capability beyond 20Mb downstream for no extra charge. BT Wholesale do charge for this. For example, upping the bandwidth to 30Mb would result in a c90% increase in annual bandwidth charges. That�s quite a leap.

Quite a few ISPs are offering it like Talk Talk Business

It's actually native GEA, without putting a PPPoE concentrator on the end.

Most of us selling this bundle it with a bandwidth guarantee (like a leased line) up to the the Openreach prioritised rate of the product.

Then the Access Line & GEA components tend to have SML4 applied (7 hour fix) applied to give it the high SLA you'd expect with a business grade, guaranteed product.

It's essentially the new SDSL, without being synchronous, or having the advantage of pair redundancy.

We can do this on FTTC (VDSL & G.Fast) or FTTP, all GEA variants.
G.Fast plays best for this though, as it has a good prioritised rate when compared to the equivalent FTTP products.

Aha ! Got it now, ta.
