Fast And Reliable Broadband For Dental Practices
Fast and reliable broadband allows you to streamline and add value to numerous areas of your practice. This includes patient data management, digital imaging, and NHS communications, to name a few.
The size of your dental practice, operational needs, and internet usage all influence the broadband package you require.
MID Digital Solutions offers four trusted broadband connectivity solutions that have enjoyed widespread adoption within the dental field.
-
SOGEA (Single Order Generic Ethernet Access)
-
FTTP (Fibre to the Premises)
-
FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet)
-
Dedicated Leased Lines
SOGEA (Single Order Generic Ethernet Access)
Single Order Generic Ethernet Access (SOGEA) is a great option if you are switching from a traditional phone system to an internet service. SOGEA is a broadband technology that delivers internet without the need for a phone line. It uses the same infrastructure as fibre broadband but simplifies installation and reduces costs.
The benefits of SOGEA include:
-
No phone line rental, which often means lower bills
-
Faster setup without the need for a separate phone connection
-
Stable broadband performance over mostly fibre infrastructure (the final connection to your practice is via copper cabling)
-
More flexibility to pair with VoIP services to make and receive calls
FTTP (Fibre to the Premises)
Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) serves ultra-fast internet directly to your facility through fibre optic cabling with no copper infrastructure. This pure fibre service offers much faster internet by avoiding the slowdowns associated with copper connections.
FTTP has much to offer, including:
-
Lightning-fast downloads and uploads – up to 1 Gbps
-
A stable connection with less risk of interference
-
Better signal due to lower signal degradation
-
Easily adaptable to growing internet demands
FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet)
Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) delivers faster speeds than standard broadband and is usually more affordable than full fibre options. FTTC uses fibre optic cables to connect to a street cabinet near your property. From there, copper cables carry the connection to your practice.
This technology is widely available in the UK and is popular in areas lacking full fibre coverage.
The key benefits of FTTC include:
-
Quicker downloads and uploads compared to traditional broadband
-
Lower cost than full fibre services like FTTP
-
Improved performance compared to copper-only connections
Leased Lines
A leased line is ideal for dentistry practices with multiple locations and those requiring large file transfers. With a leased line, you get dedicated, reliable, high-speed internet, without sharing bandwidth with other businesses.
The direct link between your router and internet service provider is also more secure.
A leased line offers:
-
Strong data security
-
Fast, reliable data transfer
-
Symmetrical bandwidth – upload and download speeds are the same
-
Scalability to grow with your internet demands

“We been with Mid Digital for 18 months now and have always found them to give the highest level of service. The transition from our previous provider was very smooth with any issues being dealt with promptly and efficiently. I find the ability to have shared data and call time across all our numbers extremely beneficial and this was not available from our previous provider, so we have received better service at a reduce cost by going with Mid Digital. If I have any issues, I feel confident I can either ring or email them and I will get a prompt and useful response, again this wasn’t the case with my previous provider.”
