Understanding Fibre Broadband Options for UK Businesses

SoGEA for Business in the UK for Telecommunications
Streamlined broadband without a phone line — purpose-built for modern telecoms operations.
No Line Rental
Eliminate the cost of a traditional phone line you no longer need — SoGEA provides broadband as a standalone service.
Simple Migration
Moving from traditional broadband to SoGEA is straightforward, with minimal disruption and no change to your internet experience.
VoIP Ready
Pair SoGEA with a modern VoIP phone system for better call features at a lower cost than your old landline.
Telecoms paying for a traditional phone line they no longer use are wasting money every month. With VoIP and cloud-based OSS/BSS platforms, network monitoring, and provisioning tools replacing legacy telephony, maintaining a PSTN line purely to carry broadband is an unnecessary cost that adds complexity to your telecoms billing and infrastructure.
Cloudswitched delivers SoGEA (Single Order Generic Ethernet Access) broadband connections for UK telecoms, delivers broadband without requiring a traditional phone line, reducing costs and simplifying your connectivity with a single-order Openreach product. It is the natural evolution for telecoms broadband, removing the redundant phone line, reducing costs, and simplifying your connectivity with a single, modern Openreach product.

Frequently Asked Questions
SoGEA (Single Order Generic Ethernet Access) delivers broadband without requiring a traditional phone line. For telecoms, this means lower monthly costs, simpler billing, and faster provisioning when connecting new offices, exchanges, and data centres — all while maintaining the same broadband speeds.
No. While SoGEA removes the traditional phone line, we set up VoIP telephony that works over your broadband connection. Your network engineers and support staff keep their existing numbers and enjoy improved call quality with features like call recording and mobile integration.
Telecoms typically save £15-20 per month per site by eliminating phone line rental. For telecoms with multiple offices, exchanges, and data centres, this adds up to significant annual savings while maintaining identical broadband performance for OSS/BSS platforms, network monitoring, and provisioning tools.
SoGEA delivers the same speeds as traditional FTTC broadband — up to 80Mbps download and 20Mbps upload. Where FTTP is available, SoGEA-equivalent products deliver gigabit speeds. Performance for OSS/BSS platforms, network monitoring, and provisioning tools is identical to your current broadband.
New SoGEA installations typically take 5 to 10 working days. Migrations from existing broadband are often completed within 1 to 2 weeks with no downtime. Cloudswitched manages the entire process so your network engineers and support staff experience seamless continuity.
