Adapt to a changing world
Adapt our Ethernet solution to suit your business needs whether you start by connecting one site to one service e.g. Internet Access, or by building a network connecting a number of sites to multiple services e.g. branches to a HQ via wide area network technologies. In the past, leased line connections had meant users were faced with high bandwidth costs when upgrades were needed. With Ethernet as your solution, it scales as you need it without needing to add new connections. The adaptable multi-service access capability of our Ethernet solution in Ireland, means that your delivery costs for services such as Internet Access, MPLS, National/International Private Line and SIP Trunking are minimised.
BT Ethernet Connect enables you to choose from a predefined set of options. With this flexible approach you not only address your immediate requirements, but you also have the ability to adapt our Ethernet solution to meet your future needs.
BT Ethernet Connect has 6 Class of Service options, to allow you prioritise traffic across your network, making sure your network performance is optimised for your business.
The Class of Service option best suited to your business depends on the nature of the data travelling across your network.
The Class of Service option best suited to your business depends on the nature of the data travelling across your network. Real time data is typically prioritised to maximise quality of delivery, with application and bulk data usually given lower priority.
- Video and IP Voice would be examples that typically get higher priority at Premium Express class of service.
- Business applications often generating transactional data, such as CRM or financial applications are prioritised according to the importance of the data to the daily running of the business and might get class of service between options Premium 100 and Premium 5 - it depends on the individual organisation to prioritise network data according to their needs.
- Less urgent data applications such as e-mail or web browsing can be deprioritised as Primary class of service which means they travel across the network after data with higher priority. Typically, Primary class of service doesn’t materially affect the performance of these applications as they are used on a day to day basis.

Innovate
In challenging times you need to collaborate and innovate for growth; streamlining your business to grow faster than the competition.

Having the right bandwidth for colleagues to work together internally and with suppliers and partners, means development and decision making is faster and you can get ahead.
Connecting your sites
BT Ethernet Connect is only one of a suite of networking products that we offer to connect your sites together (or to other BT services). BT Ethernet Connect typically suits fewer site connections with higher bandwidth requirements. On the other hand, BT IP Connect suits many sites with lesser bandwidth needs.
