Dedicated Ethernet now available in more locations – with flexible and fully committed options

As a business, your connectivity needs are unique. And that means the way you use your bandwidth is too.
Your connection might need to work quietly in the background. But there may be moments – predictable or otherwise – when demand suddenly spikes. Perhaps regular company-wide video calls, file transfers and hosted applications put a constant strain on your bandwidth. Or maybe guaranteed performance is essential to your organisation.

With dedicated Ethernet now available in more locations than ever, businesses can now choose a service that matches how they actually work.

While full fibre broadband can deliver impressive speeds, Ethernet is built for assured performance. You get symmetrical bandwidth, clearly defined service guarantees and committed repair SLAs. In practical terms, that means consistent throughput, predictable uptime, and the reassurance that business-critical applications don’t need to compete for capacity.

Expanding dedicated Ethernet availability

Zen has expanded dedicated Ethernet availability through the CityFibre network, extending high-quality leased line connections to more UK business premises.

This expansion increases choice in CityFibre areas, giving organisations access to resilient, carrier-grade connectivity beyond traditional network footprints. When you need enhanced reliability, guaranteed performance, and service assurance, CityFibre Ethernet is a great addition to your area.
But there’s more.

A flexible option for variable demand

For many businesses, choosing Ethernet presents a difficult dilemma: under-provision and risk congestion during peak demand, or over-provision and pay for capacity that sits unused for much of the year.
But now there’s a third option. A burstable Ethernet service designed for businesses whose usage isn’t flat throughout the day.

This service provides 200 Mbps of guaranteed bandwidth as standard, with the ability to burst automatically up to 1 Gbps when demand increases, as traffic allows. There’s no need to forecast peaks perfectly or permanently commit to higher costs. The additional capacity is simply there when it’s required.

If your business runs large overnight backups, for example, or sees predictable spikes at month-end, you’ll benefit from the extra bandwidth – without committing to a full gigabit service year-round.
It’s an efficient way to align connectivity spend with your business needs.

Fully committed gigabit performance

If your operations demand sustained high-capacity performance, fully dedicated services up to 1 Gbps are also available.

For data-intensive environments, multi-site organisations, or businesses where downtime or congestion would have serious operational impact, a fully committed gigabit Ethernet service offers maximum assurance. You get symmetrical bandwidth, defined repair SLAs and consistent throughput under sustained load, with your full capacity available at all times.

For organisations running latency-sensitive systems, high-volume data transfers or multi-site operations, that level of assurance reduces operational risk and provides real peace of mind.

Connectivity that matches your business

The expansion of Ethernet services is ultimately about giving businesses clearer, more structured options.
Some organisations will find that business full fibre continues to meet their needs. Others may benefit from an Ethernet solution that combines committed performance with flexibility and lower costs. And for those requiring guaranteed high throughput all the time, dedicated gigabit services are ready to support that growth.

What matters most is having access to the right service, in the right location, at the right level of commitment.
