Why Fast2Host

A real UK ISP, not a reseller

We own the AS, the IPs, the routers, the data centre and the engineers — so we own the uptime.

We run our own network (AS48825)

RIPE-registered autonomous system with multi-homed transit, LINX & LONAP peering. No middlemen — we own the route, the IPs and the uptime.

Built around Cambridge Tier III DC

Our privately-owned UK data centre is the network hub. Carrier-diverse fibre entries, A+B power, N+1 cooling and 24/7 on-site engineers.

600 Gbps DDoS, included

Always-on Corero SmartWall mitigation across every port and every VLAN — protecting circuits, racks and hosting customers at no extra charge.

Carrier-diverse fibre

Openreach, CityFibre, Virgin Media O2, Colt, Zayo and Neos Networks — we pick the best tail circuit for your postcode, not whatever's easiest.

Sub-1ms local latency

Customers cross-connected inside our facility get sub-millisecond latency to each other and to peering points — measurably faster than the open internet.

UK NOC, 24/7

Speak to network engineers in Cambridge — not a script. Four-hour fix SLA on circuits, one-hour P1 response, no overseas call centre.

8 common questions

A leased line (Dedicated Internet Access) is a symmetric, uncontended fibre circuit — the bandwidth is 1:1 and reserved for you 24/7, with upload speed matching download. Business broadband is contended, shared between many premises in your area, and typically gives only a fraction of the upload speed. Leased lines also come with hard SLAs (99.99% uptime, 4-hour fix) and static public IPs — both essential for VPNs, VoIP, cloud workloads and remote access.
