How Does Ethernet First Mile Work?

Stream Networks Ethernet First Mile leased lines are provisioned over multiple copper pairs, instead of traditional expensive fibre installations. Because EFM is provisioned over multiple pairs the service is highly resilient. If any of the pairs fail the service will rate adjust to a lower speed on the remaining circuits rather than completely fail.

Ethernet First Mile services can be provisioned within 35 working days from date of order providing ultra fast lead times compared to typical fibre installations.
