What is SoGEA broadband?
Offered by Combined Networks, SoGEA broadband is designed to seamlessly connect your business to the internet. SoGEA, which stands for Single Order Generic Ethernet Access, is a broadband solution that delivers performance and data capabilities comparable to FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) but eliminates the necessity for a traditional phone line installation.
This makes it a cost-effective alternative for businesses seeking broadband without the added expense of an unwanted phone line. SoGEA broadband provides speeds of up to 80 Mbps and can be integrated with a VoIP service, such as 3CX or Flow, allowing you to consolidate your existing phone number and broadband service into a single, efficient connection.
SoGEA Broadband Features
SoGEA is a specialized internet service that provides a broadband connection directly to business locations, utilizing advanced fiber technology similar to FTTC, rather than relying on the conventional PSTN (public switched telephone network). This innovative solution eliminates the need for separate orders for both phone and broadband services, as it consolidates them into a single, efficient order using VoIP technology.
With the gradual phase-out of PSTN infrastructure, now is the ideal time for businesses to transition to SoGEA broadband. This strategic move will enable organizations to modernize their communication systems before the inevitable discontinuation of PSTN services in the coming years.


SoGEA broadband is fast and reliable
SoGEA broadband leverages fibre-optic technology that extends from the local exchange to the Primary Connection Point (PCP), commonly known as the green street cabinets, ensuring high-speed internet access for your business. This advanced system offers speeds of up to 80Mbps, delivering greater reliability compared to conventional copper phone lines. SoGEA connections are designed to minimize downtime and reduce the likelihood of faults, resulting in a more dependable service. With enhanced bandwidth and exceptional speeds, SoGEA presents an ideal solution for businesses seeking an effective alternative to traditional PSTN lines.
