An MSP that runs a UK ISP.
Most MSPs subcontract the carrier. We don't — we operate a UK Internet Service Provider in our own right, with our own peering and our own backbone. The engineers designing your branch are the same engineers running the network our managed customers and wholesale partners ride on.

We own the internet pipe ourselves. When your branch goes dark, the engineers who designed your office network and the engineers who own the network connecting it to the internet are the same team — in the same room, on the same call.
Most managed-service providers don't own that pipe — they buy connectivity from someone else and pass tickets through. We run a registered UK internet provider in our own right, with direct relationships with every major UK carrier plus the smaller ones that fill the gaps. That's the problem owning the network solves.
Most MSPs subcontract the carrier. We are the carrier.
The same bench that keeps the carrier up runs your branch.
ASN, peering, backbone, NOC — the inside of a real network operator, not an MSP reselling someone else's connectivity. When the carrier and the managed service are the same engineering team, the joins stop being where things break.
Our network
Our own ASN
AS203582 — a registered UK Autonomous System. The number on the BGP table when our network speaks to the rest of the internet.
Settlement-free peering
We peer settlement-free where it shortens the path to the networks our customers actually use — rather than hauling every packet to a single upstream.
Carrier-grade core
A carrier-class backbone with diverse paths and dual transit, built to keep our own retail and managed customers up before anyone else's.
Managed IP space
PI and PA address space we manage and announce ourselves — including IPv6 from day one, properly delegated and properly routed.
24/7 NOC
Our own network operations centre, staffed by the same engineers who built it. Different problem at 3am, same team picking up the phone.
What you can buy from us
Managed Internet (DIA)
Dedicated internet access to your sites — symmetric, contended sensibly, monitored end-to-end. Delivered on our network, not subcontracted.
Wholesale transit
Carrier capacity for resellers, MSPs and ISPs that need a UK-sovereign upstream with an engineer to talk to.
Private overlays
Hosted VPN and MPLS-equivalent overlays joining your sites together over our backbone — segmented, encrypted, supportable.
Resilient multi-carrier
Where it matters, we present multi-carrier termination — diverse paths, sensible BGP, automated failover. Built to survive a Friday afternoon.
Diversity that holds all the way to the core.
Most “resilient” circuits stop at two telephone exchanges and call it a job done — the Openreach RA02 spec the industry treats as the baseline. It's useful as a starting point. We go further. Because we operate our own network, we build resilient circuits using independent carriers, independent local loops and independent fibre paths — diverse from the wall socket all the way back to our core, on our network, under our ASN.

When we engineer connectivity to a site, we don't start from “which carrier can we go through” — we start from what the site actually needs: bandwidth, lead time, resilience profile, planning timescale, address-range proximity. The right answer is often two providers into the same building, or a carrier presented over a peering session rather than a cross-connect, or a deliberately diverse fibre path that doesn't share a manhole with the primary.
That depth is also competency. Holding BGP sessions with this many networks, managing our own IP space, running our own peering policy at LINX, picking the right transit for the right traffic — these are muscles you only have if you exercise them every day. The same muscles that diagnose your branch's weird routing problem in an afternoon, not a week.
And it's commercial freedom. We're never trying to make a deal stretch where it doesn't fit — there's always another route in, and we'll quote you the one that's actually right for the site, not the one that's convenient for us.
What owning the carrier actually buys you.
One throat to choke
Carrier and MSP are the same team. The Friday-afternoon outage is one conversation, one ticket, one engineer — not a three-way call with a third party you've never spoken to.
Real engineers on the phone
BGP, peering, transit, IPv6 — competence in-house, not outsourced. The person picking up understands what your traffic is doing, not just what their script says.
Eats its own dogfood
We run our own retail and managed customers on this network. It's built to keep us up first — and the standard we hold our own service to is the standard yours rides on.

From single site to wholesale partner.
Whether you need a single DIA circuit, multi-site connectivity, or wholesale capacity to ride on, the conversation starts the same way — with the engineers, not a sales script.
Connectivity audit
Honest read on your existing carriers, contracts, renewal dates and resilience — gaps named in plain English.
Site delivery
DIA, Ethernet, FTTP to your sites — quoted on what you actually need, delivered on our network.
Wholesale partner
For MSPs, resellers and ISPs who want carrier capacity from a UK operator with an engineer on the phone.
Bundled with managed
Roll the network connectivity into our fully managed network service. One team, one SLA, one bill.
From inception to completion M-Tech have been instrumental in helping the Trust realise its aim of achieving trust-wide connectivity and collaborative working. The team were hugely knowledgeable, diligent and professional at all times.
Questions we hear every week.
Do you really run a UK ISP?
How does this differ from your Networks & Connectivity page?
Can we buy connectivity from you without taking your managed service?
Can you peer with us, or sell us transit?
Are you wholly UK?
