Business broadband types
Which connection does your site need?
| Type | How it’s delivered | Suits | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| SoGEA | Fibre to the street cabinet, copper to you — without a phone line attached. | Small offices and shops where full fibre isn’t available yet. | Speed drops with distance from the cabinet. |
| Full fibre (FTTP) | Fibre all the way into the building. | Most businesses, where available. | Availability varies street by street. |
| Leased line | A dedicated, uncontended fibre connection for your site. | Many users, critical systems or multi-site networks. | Higher cost and longer install lead times. |
| 4G / 5G | Mobile data via a business router. | Backup connections and temporary sites. | Signal-dependent. |

Connectivity FAQs
Before you book an engineer.
What is the PSTN switch-off?
The UK’s analogue telephone network (PSTN) and ISDN are being retired, and calls are moving to digital, internet-based services. Any device that relies on an analogue line needs to be moved or replaced.
When is the PSTN switch-off deadline?
Openreach’s target is to move all lines off the old analogue network by 31 January 2027. Engineer slots get busy close to deadlines, so it pays to plan early.
Can I keep my business phone number?
In almost every case, yes. Geographic and non-geographic numbers can usually be ported to a VoIP or digital line service.
Will my alarm or card machine still work?
Some will, some won’t. Older alarms, lift lines, franking machines and card terminals that dial out are the usual problems, so every line should be audited before the change.
What happens in a power cut with VoIP?
Digital lines need power at your premises. If you rely on a line for emergency calls or a lift, plan for battery backup or a mobile fallback.
