Fusion Connect Ethernet

Industry-Leading Coverage, More Options

Having achieved service in 700 Central Offices (COs) nationwide, Fusion Connect is now the largest provider of on-net Ethernet-over-Copper (EoC) services in the United States. Other companies might take the opportunity to rest on their laurels, but not Fusion Connect.

Instead, we’ve followed up our EoC expansion with the introduction of Ethernet ESA. Ethernet ESA offers an off-net nationwide footprint and bandwidth ranging from 2.0 Mbps to 1.0 Gbps. Whether you’re replacing your existing T1 or need a high-bandwidth solution to meet your growing business needs, Fusion Connect Ethernet ESA has it all.

The Fusion Connect Ethernet Portfolio

The Fusion Connect Ethernet Portfolio consists of Core Service Area (CSA) / On-Net and Extended Service Area (ESA) / Off-Net services listed below.

  Bandwidth Service Area Footprint (COs)
Ethernet over Copper (EoC) 2 - 45 Mbps CSA / On-Net 700**
Ethernet over DS1 (EoDS1) 2 - 12 Mbps CSA / On-Net 700**
Ethernet over DS3 (EoDS3)* 44 Mbps CSA / On-Net 700**
Asymmetric Ethernet (AsyE) 8/1 - 50/10 Mbps CSA / On-Net 700**
Ethernet ESA 2 Mbps - 1 Gbps ESA / Off-Net Nationwide

Why Fusion Connect Ethernet?

The adoption of Hosted PBX, streaming video, remote connectivity, cloud services, and other data-intensive business applications often brings a need for more bandwidth. Consider these advantages of Business Ethernet service and compare for yourself:

  • With fiber available to only 30% of US businesses, Ethernet is the logical choice for businesses requiring high bandwidth for mission-critical applications
  • Ethernet requires less on-premises equipment than comparable T1 services and higher speeds can often be provisioned on existing circuits, making Ethernet a cost-effective and reliable way to scale and support voice, data, and video convergence on a unified network
  • Fusion Connect Ethernet services offer multiple bandwidth options at budget-friendly price points
  • Fusion Connect Ethernet services are backed by business-class SLAs and 24/7/365 customer support
  • A streamlined customer portal makes it easy to manage your service, pay your bill, and obtain support
