Business internet sourced, installed and monitored to match how your company actually uses its connection, from shared fibre through to dedicated internet access.
We match your site to FTTC, FTTP, EFM or dedicated internet access based on what's genuinely available and what your business needs.
We handle the order, the engineer visit and the router configuration, so your team doesn't lose a day chasing a provider.
Once live, we monitor your connection around the clock, catching a degrading line before it becomes a full outage.
Cloudswitched sources, installs and supports business internet uk wide for SMEs who need more than a residential-grade connection with no service level commitment. As internet connectivity solutions uk businesses rely on have grown more critical -- VoIP calls, cloud applications, card payments, remote working -- the right connection is rarely the cheapest one available at your postcode. We help you choose between shared fibre broadband, ethernet over fttc for a step up in reliability without the cost of a full leased line, and dedicated internet access where your business genuinely cannot tolerate contention or downtime. Every recommendation starts with what's actually available at your address and how your team uses the connection day to day, not a single preferred product pushed regardless of fit. Business internet sits alongside our wider connectivity, VoIP, cloud email and cloud networking solutions, so your internet connection is configured with the rest of your technology stack in mind from day one, not bought in isolation as a separate utility.
When your team depends on cloud applications, VoIP calls and remote access, your internet connection stops being background infrastructure and becomes the thing that keeps the business trading. A shared, contended connection with no guaranteed speed and a slow-to-respond provider can cost far more in lost productivity during an outage than the monthly saving over a properly specified business internet connection is worth.
Dedicated internet access gives you an uncontended connection with a guaranteed symmetrical speed and a formal service level agreement, rather than a shared line that slows down when neighbouring businesses are using theirs heavily. It costs more than standard broadband, but for businesses where downtime genuinely isn't an option, the guaranteed bandwidth and faster fault resolution justify the difference.
Ethernet over fttc delivers a more reliable, business-grade service over the same cabinet infrastructure as standard fibre broadband, with better fault response and service guarantees than consumer-grade FTTC, at a lower cost than a full leased line. It's a genuinely useful middle option for businesses that need more reliability than shared broadband but can't yet justify dedicated internet access.
Internet connectivity solutions uk providers offer vary enormously in contention ratio, contract length, static IP availability and what actually happens when the connection drops. We look past the headline speed to these details before recommending anything, because they're usually what determines whether a connection actually holds up under real business use. A business running a single till and email doesn't need the same specification as one processing large files or hosting its own applications, and treating both the same way either overspends unnecessarily or leaves genuine risk on the table.
Advertised speeds are frequently "up to" figures achieved under ideal conditions, and real-world throughput at your desk can be considerably lower once distance from the cabinet, in-building cabling and shared contention are factored in. We check realistic performance for your specific address before you sign anything, not just the number on the provider's website.
Beyond raw speed, a proper business internet contract should spell out whether a static IP is included, what the guaranteed minimum speed actually is rather than just the "up to" headline, and what fault-response window the provider commits to in writing. These details rarely appear on a comparison website, but they're often what determines whether a fault gets fixed in hours or drags on for days -- so we read the contract terms, not just the marketing page, before recommending anything.
We check availability, likely real-world speed and contention at your address, then recommend shared fibre, ethernet over fttc or dedicated internet access based on genuine need rather than upsell.
We handle the order, the engineer visit and the router configuration, and manage the switch from your existing provider with minimal disruption.
Once live, we monitor your connection continuously, so a degrading line or intermittent fault gets caught and escalated before it becomes a full outage.
For businesses that genuinely can't tolerate downtime, we configure a secondary connection that switches over automatically the moment the primary line drops.
From site survey to installation and ongoing monitoring -- we manage the whole process.
We check what's genuinely available at your address and how your team uses the connection day to day.
We recommend the internet connectivity solutions uk wide that actually fit your business, from shared broadband to dedicated internet access.
We manage the order and engineer visit, and configure your router, network and failover properly.
We monitor your connection continuously and handle provider calls on your behalf if a fault occurs.
We recommend the internet connectivity solutions uk businesses actually need for their specific site and usage, rather than pushing a single preferred product regardless of fit.
Installation and router configuration are handled for you, including setting the connection up properly for VoIP, video conferencing and cloud applications.
We monitor your line continuously, so a developing fault gets caught and chased with the provider before your team even notices.
Business internet sits alongside our IT support, VoIP and cloud networking services, so your whole technology stack is managed by one team.
You get a dedicated account manager and a support desk that answers the phone, not an offshore call centre queue.
And because we handle the whole relationship -- comparison, installation, monitoring and support -- you have one number to call rather than juggling the provider, an installer and an IT contractor separately.
The speed and reliability you experience day to day depends on more than the number advertised by your provider. Distance from the street cabinet affects FTTC and ethernet over fttc performance, the number of other businesses sharing a contended connection affects speed at peak times, and your own router and internal cabling can bottleneck a perfectly good line. Before recommending a connection type, we look at all of this rather than simply matching you to the fastest headline figure available at your postcode.
The right connection depends on what's available at your address and how critical uptime is to your business.
Cost-effective and widely available, but contended -- shared with neighbouring businesses, so real-world speed can dip at busy times of day.
A business-grade step up over standard fibre, with better fault response and service guarantees at a lower cost than a full leased line -- a genuinely useful middle ground.
An uncontended, guaranteed-speed connection with a formal service level agreement -- the right choice when downtime genuinely isn't an option. It costs more, but the guaranteed bandwidth and faster fault resolution justify it for businesses that depend entirely on being online.
We don't just sell you a connection -- we make sure it actually works for your business. Here's what sets us apart.
We compare shared broadband, EFM and dedicated internet access for your address, rather than pushing whichever product pays the highest referral fee.
We handle the order, the engineer visit and the router configuration, so your team doesn't lose a day to it.
You get a named point of contact who understands your setup, not a different call centre agent every time.
Our monitoring runs around the clock, so a degrading connection is often caught before your team notices a slowdown.
When a fault needs escalating, we're on the phone to the ISP on your behalf, following it through to resolution.
We set your connection up properly for voice traffic and cloud applications, not just a generic router out of the box.
We manage connectivity consistently across multiple sites, rather than leaving each location on a different deal, provider and renewal date.
Connectivity works alongside our IT support and cloud services, so your whole network is managed as one system.
You get a clear breakdown of connection cost, installation and any monitoring fee before you commit to anything.
From a single-site office running on shared fibre to businesses running dedicated internet access across several locations, reliable business internet underpins everything from VoIP calls to cloud backup and remote working. The right internet connectivity solutions uk businesses need depend on address, usage and how much downtime the business can realistically tolerate -- which is why we start every enquiry with a proper site survey rather than a single quote. A retail unit taking card payments has very different requirements from a professional practice running cloud applications all day, even though both might describe their need simply as "business internet."
Cloudswitched is based in the City of London and arranges business internet uk wide, working with providers to get the right connection installed at your address wherever you're based, with on-site coverage in London when hardware genuinely needs hands.
How we work: Site surveys, provider comparison and order management are handled remotely wherever possible, with engineer visits booked directly with the provider for the physical installation.
Who we help: Single-site offices, multi-location retailers and growing businesses that have outgrown a residential-grade connection all come to us for the same reason -- they want internet connectivity solutions that are properly specified, installed and monitored.
Getting started: Tell us your address and how your team uses the internet day to day, and we'll come back with a genuine recommendation, not a single quote from one preferred supplier.

Business internet compared, installed and monitored for SMEs across the UK, from a team based in the City of London.
dedicated internet access
Dedicated internet access is an uncontended business internet connection with a guaranteed symmetrical speed and formal service level agreement, unlike shared consumer-grade broadband.
ethernet over fttc
Ethernet over fttc delivers a business-grade service over cabinet infrastructure, with better fault response and service guarantees than standard consumer FTTC broadband.
Got questions about business internet? We've answered the most common ones below. If you need more detail, get in touch.
Cost depends on the technology available at your address, the guaranteed speed you need, and whether you want dedicated internet access or a shared connection. We give you a clear, itemised quote before you commit to anything, with no hidden installation or router charges buried in the small print.
Business internet typically comes with faster fault response, business-hours support, and often better contention ratios and service guarantees than residential packages, which are optimised for cost rather than uptime. Many residential contracts also explicitly prohibit commercial use in their terms.
Dedicated internet access gives you an uncontended, guaranteed-speed connection with a formal service level agreement. It's worth the extra cost if downtime would genuinely stop the business trading -- card payments, phones, cloud applications all depending on the same line.
Ethernet over fttc is a business-grade connection delivered over the same cabinet infrastructure as standard fibre broadband, but with better fault response and service guarantees, at a lower cost than a full leased line -- a useful middle ground for businesses stepping up from shared broadband.
Shared fibre installs typically take one to four weeks; ethernet over fttc and dedicated internet access can take longer, sometimes several weeks to a few months where new infrastructure needs to be laid. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we know what's available at your address.
If downtime would genuinely stop the business trading, a backup connection is worth the modest extra cost. We can configure automatic failover so a second connection takes over if the primary line drops.
Yes -- we manage the whole switch, including timing it so there's no gap in service, and configuring the new connection and router to match how your team already works.
Yes -- we can arrange and manage business internet consistently across multiple locations, so you're not tracking different providers, contracts and renewal dates at each site.
