Common questions about this service. Don't see yours? Reach out for a free account review.
- What is Metro Ethernet used for?
- Metro Ethernet privately connects your locations with high-capacity, low-latency links, no public internet in between, so applications, voice, file shares, and data-center traffic move fast and stay secure.
- What's the difference between point-to-point and dedicated transport?
- Point-to-point links two specific sites with committed bandwidth. Dedicated transport provides a clean, high-bandwidth path to a data center or carrier interconnect. We design the topology around how your sites actually connect.
- Is Ethernet more secure than a VPN over the internet?
- Metro Ethernet keeps your traffic on a private Layer 2 connection rather than traversing the public internet, giving you more predictable performance and a stronger security posture between sites.
