The services above 500k are delivered over LLU based ADSL2+ Annex M, prioritised and capped to offer the best possible service. Designed to replace SDSL lines EXPRESSBroadband EB SA will soon become our preferred solution. The 200k solution is built on a fixed rate ADSL1 service for maximum resilience and minimum rate adaption, perfect for single line voice circuits and we are aiming this product range at our Express Telephony system market. The traffic is prioritised both in the carrier’s network, and across our own using QoS functionality on our Edge routing platform. EB SA traffic will be prioritised over all other traffic in our network, and we have made provision to accommodate this in our connections with the carrier.
