Connectivity your business can trust — with a team who understands it.

Business connectivity is not one product. It is a spectrum: from full-fibre broadband delivered to a small office at £30 a month, through to a 1 Gbps ethernet leased line at £600 a month with a four-hour repair SLA. The right answer depends on the site, what you run over it, and what happens when it fails.

Atom IP delivers across the full range — full-fibre, SoGEA, ethernet leased lines, 4G and 5G, MPLS, SD-WAN — from every major UK carrier and altnet. We are not a single-carrier reseller, so the recommendation you get is honest.

Full-fibre to the premises (FTTP) is now available at most UK business addresses. Speeds up to 1 Gbps download / 200 Mbps upload, on a contended but low-oversubscription tail, are typically enough for small offices, retail sites, single-branch operations and home workers.

FTTP is not a leased line — it is contended, which means you share the underlying capacity with other users. That is fine for most day-to-day workloads. It becomes a problem for large file transfers to and from the cloud, or for high-count VoIP deployments at peak.

A leased line is a dedicated, uncontended ethernet circuit from your building to your carrier's core. You get the full capacity in both directions, all the time, with a service-level agreement on availability and repair. Typical speeds range from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps.

Leased lines are the right choice where connectivity is business-critical: contact centres, professional-services firms with heavy cloud use, hospitality groups running EPOS and reservations, and any business where an outage means real revenue loss.

A single connection is a single point of failure. For business-critical sites, we build resilience by design: a primary circuit from one carrier, a diverse-route secondary circuit from a different carrier, and — for the last-metre — a 4G or 5G failover that kicks in automatically. Every path is monitored, and every failover is tested at handover, not left to chance.

We also document a proper business-continuity runbook for every resilient site. If the primary fails, everyone knows what happens and in what order — including phones, card payments and cloud apps.

For businesses with multiple sites, an SD-WAN overlay across FTTP and 4G/5G gives you the benefits of an MPLS network — priority for voice, secure inter-site traffic, centralised policy — at a fraction of the cost. We design, procure and manage the whole thing, so you get one bill and one team when something needs looking at.
