What is SoGEA?

SoGEA stands for Single Order Generic Ethernet Access. It's a type of broadband connection in the UK that delivers broadband over a phone line without a traditional phone service. This is used to provide internet connectivity to homes and businesses, where a phone line is present but a voice service is not required, thus removing the need for a separate phone line rental.

SoGEA Competitor Technologies

FTTC

FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) is a competing technology as it provides broadband using fibre to a street cabinet and then copper to the premises, similar to SoGEA which uses only the fibre part and thus doesn't require a phone line. While FTTC relies on the existing copper phone line infrastructure for the final connection, SoGEA does not.

FTTP

FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) is a competing technology to SoGEA as it offers a full fibre connection directly to the premises, bypassing the need for a traditional phone line. SoGEA aims to provide a similar service without the traditional phone line element but typically relies on a fibre connection up to a cabinet.
