EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) is the latest data service to provide Internet connectivity over standard telephone wiring. Providing an un-contended symmetric service from 2 Mb/s up to 20 Mb/s, the exact speed depends on distance from the nearest EFM enabled exchange.

Ethernet First Mile is a set of additional specifications, allowing users to run the Ethernet protocol over previously unsupported media, such as single pairs of telephone wiring and single strands of single-mode fibre (SMF).

The EFM data service is a serious contender for leased lines as they can use normal analogue pairs that are typically already in place for analogue voice lines. As such EFM leased lines are usually quicker to install and pose less of a threat for any excess installation charges.
