About us

8el is the trading name of Aggregated Telecom Ltd, a service focused organisation based in Reading and London which has been privately financed to date.

8el has been delivering consolidated voice and data services to companies across the UK for over four years. As a founder of the Integrated Access Provider model (IAP), as documented in a detailed white paper by Microsoft in 2001, 8el is delivering industry-leading service levels.

Customers receiving our single and multi-site services include companies from a number vertical markets, some of which include:-

Call Centres
Government Agencies
IT Companies
Legal and Accountancy Firms
Market Research Companies
Recruitment Agencies

Our services are enabled by our investment in customer site exchanges called "freeports". These exchanges deliver a suite of services that are then backed by a comprehensive service level agreement that allows our customer to focus on their core business whilst we focus on the technicalities of running a converged network.

As well as providing enhanced service, because we are carrying multiple services through a single infrastructure, this allows us to cross-subsidise the core bandwidth required to carry the traffic. As a result, we are helping to open up the bandwidth marketplace in the UK.

The speed of data connections that we provide ranges from 8Kbps to 155Mbps. As a result, 8el can facilitate both the SME (Small to Medium Enterprises) and corporate marketplace.

Whilst we remain an independent company, we also work with a number of business partners that have been chosen for their specific abilities in their own fields and as a result, 8el is able to deliver a full solution to satisfy customer needs.
