What is SoGEA broadband?
The future of broadband.
SoGEA is the next generation of data connectivity that removes all traditional voice services from the line. This gives you a pure data connection without a PSTN service and is therefore ready for BT’s PSTN switch off in 2027.
This newly developed technology will allow customers to place one single order for a Broadband connection and not have to worry about a physical phone line.
Why pay for line rental when you don’t use it at home or the office?
Why SoGEA?
SOGEA provides faster, more reliable connectivity than Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) broadband, meaning users can do more online, without worrying about buffering. With a single order connectivity product, you’ll not only benefit from the speeds and reliability your business depends upon, but you’ll also be able to equip your business for the future.
BCL are one of the early adopters of SoGEA, and we want to make this switch as smooth as possible for you as you embark on this crucial journey.
