25Gbps IPP Technical Brief
See KB24102506 for a complete list of IPP services.
Our 25G Protected Internet (IPP) provides a fixed, uncontended connection to the internet, ensuring that our customers experience consistent, high-performance bandwidth with managed failover.
Our service offers flexible options to suit your connectivity needs, scalable as standard to 100Gbps with 99.999% availability.
Diversity
We provide fully diverse routes across Central London, with multiple Points of Presence (PoPs) and separate paths to customer sites for enhanced resilience. Custom route maps can be supplied on request for your approval.
Our extensive coverage across London allows us to effectively avoid pinch points—areas where network paths converge and create potential single points of failure. We also establish new intakes into buildings to ensure a completely independent and diverse connection path.
Rapid installation
Rapid installation is available on most of our fibre services. Details can be found in KB24091818.
IP Addressing
We provide various addressing options. The available IP assignments supported by Vorboss are:
- Provider Assigned
- Provider Independent (PI)
The available IP address types are:
- IPv4
- IPv6
As standard, we provide a dedicated IP address (or a block of IP addresses) that are assigned and managed by Vorboss; Routed Allocations are available if additional IP addresses are required.
Our services also support PI space, ensuring customers can retain full control over their IP address management. For both IPv4 and IPv6 a customer can announce their Provider Independent IP assignment and use it on their Vorboss service. This can be split up across multiple lines if required as Direct and Routed subnets. Allocations of prefixes within a Provider Independent IP assignment is automatic by Vorboss.

Service level agreement
We guarantee 99.999% network availability, equating to a maximum monthly downtime of 26 seconds. Compensation for any outage is processed automatically, requiring no action from the customer.

Firewall rental
We offer a rental service for firewalls and routers starting at £300 per month on a rolling monthly contract.

Integrated cyber security as standard
All our IPX connections can be provided with DDoS Flood Protection (KB24091813) as standard. This automatically filters attacks within seconds, with no human intervention. It protects against the most common types of DDoS attacks, regardless of IP address types or numbers, ensuring your business remains operational during potential threats.
