SOGEA BROADBAND
WHAT IS SOGEA BROADBAND?
SoGEA stands for Single Order Generic Ethernet Access. It removes the need for a traditional phone line to deliver your broadband, so you don’t need to pay that extra cost. That means the cost of the service you’re paying for comes down.
Now you only need to place one order (single order) to supply your phone and broadband. You get the same performance as before because the infrastructure is the same and has the same geographic availability. The removal of the existing phone line future-proofs connectivity as the UK moves over to an IP network.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOGEA AND FTTC?
The biggest difference is that FTTC requires an active phone service alongside broadband. As SoGEA is a single order service it removes the need for that dedicated phone line. The only similarity between SoGEA and FTTC is that both utilise a copper line from your premises to the cabinet, and fibre to the exchange.
