==VLANs==
At the customer side the service is presented on a VLAN. The VLAN ID will be discussed during the order process.
Normally the link you have can carry one or more services on the link - the common one being 10Mbit/s internet access. However the same link can have internet access and site-to-site access, and multiple such services and different speeds. We also offer a dedicated site-to-site fibre as well.

Where there is only one service on the link then this can be set to operate with no VLAN tag.
 
Where a dedicated site-to-site fibre is used then any packets simply go to the other end including any VLAN tags. This link is effectively a very long Ethernet cable, though still subject to packet size limits.
 
Note that if you have VLAN tagging on any link then all links on that connection will have a VLAN tag (you can't have one un-tagged). The VLAN tag could be any of the valid tag values so check your switch does not have a limited on VLAN tag values.
