Better Performance – Class of Service (CoS) and Quality of Service (QoS) agreements enhance your traffic’s prioritization on Consolidated Communications’ network to provide higher service level metrics for critical applications.

Ability to Streamline – Run voice and data on a single network.

E-Line

Consolidated Communications’ Managed Ethernet Line (E-Line) service offers a highly scalable, reliable and dedicated connection to our fiber network so data is routed over a private network — not the open Internet — providing high quality and added security. And, with multiple classes of service over a single Ethernet Virtual Connection, you can enhance your class and quality of service.

E-LAN

Ethernet Local Area Network (E-LAN) services are the multipoint version of E-line services and are ideal for multi-site companies. E-LAN extends your native Ethernet environment to connect multiple locations. Consolidated Communications’ E-LAN provides any-to-any connectivity that’s easy to manage, scalable and cost effective.
