What is LLU?

LLU or Local Loop Unbundling is a regulatory requirement for BT to allow access by other operators to their exchanges to encourage innovation and competition. By placing our own equipment in the exchange we are able to deliver a unique portfolio of services.

As a pioneer of Local Loop Unbundling in the UK, Easynet has made substantial investment to directly connect our pan-european and extensive UK network to 230 BT local exchanges. This enables us to control the services end-to-end and provide the all-important service level guarantees needed for business grade Broadband and Internet Access services.

Using this method, Easynet offers Broadband Internet Access with bandwidth ranging from 512kbps to 8Mbps, a choice of asymmetric or symmetric access, contention ranging from 50:1 to 1:1 and service level guarantees. Easynet was the first company in the UK to deliver high-speed Internet service over LLU, pioneering high-grade services through the extension of tried and trusted DSL technology (used by BT for many years to deliver leased lines). Easynet has approximately 90% of the unbundled lines in the UK within a footprint that takes in 70% of the UK’s businesses.
