SoGEA Business Broadband

Scalable. Cost-Effective. Future-Proof.

As the UK moves towards the PSTN and ISDN switch-off in 2025, businesses need to

upgrade to a digital-first broadband solution that doesn’t rely on traditional phone lines.

That’s where SoGEA (Single Order Generic Ethernet Access) comes in.

Key Benefits of SoGEA Broadband

Fast & Reliable

SoGEA uses the same infrastructure as FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet), delivering speeds of up to 80Mbps download and 20Mbps upload — plenty for voice, video, and file sharing across a typical business environment.


  • Supports VoIP, Teams, Zoom, file sharing, email and CRM
  • Consistent performance for offices of up to 10–15 users
  • Ideal for replacing PSTN broadband ahead of the switch-off

No Phone Line. Lower Costs.

Say goodbye to traditional line rental. SoGEA is data-only, meaning fewer services to manage — and lower monthly bills.


  • One contract, one install, one bill
  • VoIP replaces your voice line, reducing overall telecom costs
  • Perfect for budget-conscious businesses looking to streamline

Simplified Installation & Upgrades

With fewer moving parts, SoGEA lines can be provisioned faster and upgraded more easily. No more managing both a broadband and phone order — just one connection that does it all.


  • Straightforward switch from FTTC or ADSL
  • VoIP integration handled by CRE
  • Scales easily with your growth — or as backup alongside leased lines

  • Low jitter and latency for clear calls
  • Priority traffic rules to favour voice over data
  • Static IPs available for remote access and hosted systems
