Service Level Agreement for Guaranteed Protection

100% connectivity guarantee

You will benefit from our network infrastructure availability, with a 100% connectivity guarantee. Each circuit in every regional POP (internet access point) is connected to a different Juniper M7i router to ensure continuous service, even in the event of a total loss of a router and/or circuit. In addition, each POP has a redundant UPS (uninterruptable power supply) system, so should either UPS fail or be taken out of service for maintenance, your connection remains unaffected. To maximise the performance and reliability of our network we operate on the main hub between Manchester and London - and with significant duplication of connectivity we ensure to always deliver a resilient, constant route to the internet. We carry out comprehensive round-the-clock monitoring of our network routers, circuits and power, so if there is a network issue we can act immediately to resolve any potential issues.

What is network infrastructure?

Network availability means that all infrastructure - including routers, switches and cabling - is working. Network infrastructure is defined as the portion of the network extending from the outbound port on your cabinet switch to the outbound port on the border router. Services and software running on your servers are not defined as part of the network.

Does the guarantee cover maintenance?

We guarantee that when not undergoing scheduled maintenance, the network infrastructure is available 100% of the time. In the event of unplanned network failure we will refund 24 hours' service for every 60 minutes of lost connection - up to a maximum value equal to your monthly subscription charge. Any credits offered under the SLA will be allocated against your UKFast.net Ltd account.

Two hour hardware replacement

In the unlikely event of unfixable server hardware failure, we guarantee that hardware will be replaced within two hour of the problem's diagnosis. Hardware is defined as the processor(s), RAM, hard disk(s), motherboard, NIC card and other related hardware included with the server. This guarantee excludes the time required to rebuild a RAID array and the reload of certain operating systems, processors and applications. It does not include any bespoke server hosting solutions.

Parts and labour warranty and replacement

Our parts and labour warranty covers all parts and labour costs involved in the event of a related parts failure. We replace any failed component at no cost to the customer.

2 hour response and full report promise

With our standard SLA, should there be a problem with your server; rest assured that a qualified engineer will be working on the problem within 2 hours of being notified.

In the rare event that your problem cannot be solved within 2 hours you will be notified by telephone. We provide a detailed overview of the issue and let you know when it will be resolved. You are kept updated with phone calls until the problem is resolved. An engineer's report with full details of the issue and resolution is sent to you within 12 hours of completion.
