Build your wholesale connectivity portfolio
Interconnect with Exascale’s L2TP handoff product at our on-net locations, or via an Ethernet tail to your chosen location. This gives ISPs and resellers a choice of handoff arrangements to fit their existing network. Broadband and leased lines can also be delivered on a Layer 2 basis to an ENNI at any of our on-net data centres, or as a managed Layer 3 service using a Cisco router.
Offer more than internet access by building private wide area network (PWAN) services for your customers. Use MPLS and virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) capabilities to support private network designs for applications such as VoIP and CCTV. Discuss the customer’s sites, traffic requirements and network design with Exascale to establish a suitable wholesale solution.
Authenticate your own xDSL tails using your dedicated on-net and off-net realm. This supports a wholesale service model in which you retain control of customer authentication. Share your authentication and handoff requirements with our team so that the service can be designed around your existing network.
Take control of your customer service from provisioning xDSL tails through to routing your own IP network traffic. Choose a delivery model that suits the technical responsibilities you want to retain. Layer 2 handoff supports integration with your own network, while managed Layer 3 delivery using a Cisco router offers an alternative for customers who need a managed routed service.
Expand your connectivity proposition with access over CityFibre, Openreach, ITS, Vodafone, Sky Business and Virgin Media through Exascale. A choice of access networks helps you explore suitable options for different customer addresses. Network coverage, available products and delivery options depend on the location and requirements of each service.
Bring wholesale broadband, FTTP and leased lines into your service portfolio alongside private network services. This gives telecommunications providers more ways to meet customer needs as their connectivity requirements develop. Start with the customer’s locations, intended applications and preferred handoff model, and work with Exascale to identify suitable services.

Wholesale broadband and network handoff FAQs
The installation time for a leased line can differ based on several factors, such as your location, the current infrastructure, and how complex the setup is. Generally, you can expect the process to take anywhere from 30 to 90 days, though this may vary depending on your situation. For more information or an accurate quote, speak with one of our connectivity experts.
The cost of a leased line depends on a number of factors, such as the bandwidth you need, your location, and the network provider you choose. While leased lines typically cost more than standard internet options (FTTP, SoGEA etc), they deliver superior reliability, security, and performance – making them a valuable investment for many businesses.
Include your site postcode, number of locations, preferred service, bandwidth requirements and desired installation date. For wholesale enquiries, also describe your handoff and routing requirements.
A leased line provides dedicated bandwidth with symmetrical upload and download speeds. Business broadband is another option to consider based on your location, budget and requirements. Compare the specific service levels and features in your quotation. Explore dedicated leased lines.
Wholesale broadband enables an ISP, managed service provider or telecommunications reseller to source connectivity from a wholesale provider and offer services to its customers. Exascale provides wholesale broadband and leased line options, with delivery arrangements suited to your network and operational requirements. These include Layer 2 delivery to an ENNI at an on-net data centre and managed Layer 3 delivery using a Cisco router. The appropriate service depends on the customer’s address, available access networks and preferred handoff.
Wholesale FTTP is full fibre broadband supplied to an ISP or reseller for onward delivery to its customers. FTTP stands for Fibre to the Premises: the fibre connection reaches the customer’s premises. Exascale offers wholesale FTTP as part of its connectivity portfolio. Availability and service options depend on the address and access network. When selecting a service, compare the required upload and download performance, service levels and delivery model rather than assuming every full fibre product is equivalent to a leased line.
Exascale can provide connectivity over CityFibre, Openreach, ITS, Vodafone, Sky Business and Virgin Media. Availability must be checked for each customer location; access to one network does not mean every product is available at every address. Send the full installation address and postcode, the required service type and your preferred delivery model. For multiple sites, provide an address list so the available access options can be considered for each location.
Layer 2 delivery provides a handoff for integration with your own network, while managed Layer 3 delivery provides a managed routed service. Exascale can deliver both broadband and leased lines on a Layer 2 basis to an ENNI at any of its on-net data centres. Alternatively, these services can be delivered on a managed Layer 3 basis using a Cisco router. The choice depends on your network design and the routing and operational responsibilities you want to retain.
Yes. Exascale offers L2TP handoff at its on-net locations, or via an Ethernet tail to your chosen location. L2TP is a tunnelling protocol used in wholesale broadband to carry subscriber sessions to a receiving network. Exascale also supports dedicated on-net and off-net authentication realms for xDSL tails. Share your existing network, authentication and handoff requirements with the team to establish a suitable design. Ethernet ENNI delivery and L2TP handoff are distinct arrangements and should be specified when discussing the service.
Yes. Exascale’s wholesale service supports private wide area network (PWAN) requirements, with MPLS and virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) capabilities available for private network designs. Applications can include VoIP and CCTV across customer locations. The appropriate access service and network design depend on the sites, traffic requirements and intended use. Share the site addresses and applications with Exascale so that connectivity and handoff options can be assessed as part of the proposed private network.
Yes. Exascale can deliver broadband and leased lines on a Layer 2 basis to an Ethernet Network-to-Network Interface, or ENNI, at any of its on-net data centres. An ENNI is a handoff between networks. Discuss your preferred data centre, customer locations and technical requirements with Exascale so that the delivery arrangement can be confirmed. The available access service still needs to be checked at each customer address.
