SOGEA

Single Order Generic Ethernet Access (SOGEA), is a type of broadband internet connection that doesn’t require a landline to work.

Your first step to an all-IP future

The Great British Switch Off is happening in 2027, where the UK Public Switched Telephone Network (PTSN) will be switched off, with some services being affected now.  

It’s basically fibre broadband, without a landline. It marks an advancement in broadband, offering faster speeds and improved reliability and, using part-fibre business broadband means you’ll be ready for the PSTN Switch Off.

SOGEA is currently the most widely available data product with over 95% UK coverage. Offering an all-in-one broadband solution removing the need for a separate voice & data connection.

What’s the difference between SOGEA, FTTC and FTTP?

SOGEA offers a cost-effective and reliable broadband solution without the need for a traditional phone line, making it a simpler and quicker option to install compared to FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) and legacy WLR/FTTC (Wholesale Line Rental/Fibre to the Cabinet).  

While FTTP provides the highest speeds and reliability by delivering fibre directly to your premises, it is generally more expensive and takes longer to install.  

On the other hand, FTTC uses a combination of fibre and copper, resulting in moderate speeds and reliability, but it still requires a traditional phone line which is soon to be outphased with the Great British Switch Off.  

 SoGEA strikes a balance by offering speeds similar to FTTC without the need for a phone line, making it a future-proof choice as the UK transitions away from traditional landlines. This makes SoGEA an attractive option for those seeking an efficient and affordable broadband service.
