VPX Drive Connect +
Dedicated IP transit and private connectivity on a Tier-1 backbone - committed-rate bandwidth (CIR) from 10Mbps to 100Gbps, sub-10ms UK latency and 24/7 NOC.
What it
does
VPX Drive Connect+ is the data connectivity product within the VPX suite. It provides dedicated high-capacity IP transit and private connectivity for enterprises, cloud platforms and carriers who need committed-rate bandwidth, predictable latency and the commercial model of a wholesale carrier relationship - without the overhead of managing their own network infrastructure.
The product is built on VoicePro Plus's Tier-1 IP backbone, which peers directly with major content networks, cloud providers and internet exchanges via cross-connects at carrier-neutral colocation facilities in London and Paris, with infrastructure in Frankfurt and Los Angeles. This positions clients at the network core rather than the edge - delivering measurably lower latency to major application destinations and removing dependence on hyperscaler shared IP infrastructure.
SLA-backed performance commitments cover availability (99.95%), UK latency (<10ms), EU latency (<30ms), packet loss (<0.1%) and jitter (<5ms). All services include 24/7 NOC monitoring with proactive fault management, carrier coordination on fault resolution and dedicated escalation paths.
The process,
step by step
From first peering session to live traffic - a straightforward path with no hidden complexity.
Requirement Scoping
Our solutions team assesses your bandwidth requirements, latency targets, geographic footprint and resilience needs - producing a recommended architecture before any commercial commitments.
Circuit Delivery
Physical delivery via BT Openreach, Virgin Media Business, or direct fibre where available. Lead times 30-90 days depending on circuit type and access technology.
BGP Configuration
For IP transit customers: BGP peering, prefix announcement and full routing support. AS number provision available. Full table, partial table, or default route configurations.
Traffic Management
Optional SD-WAN overlay provides application-aware traffic steering, WAN optimisation and automatic failover. Centralised management portal with per-application policy control.
24/7 NOC Monitoring
All circuits monitored continuously. Proactive alerts fire before you notice degradation. Fault escalation and carrier coordination handled end-to-end by our NOC team.

Built for
performance
Every capability is designed around real-world wholesale requirements - not a feature checklist.
Under the
hood
Your network, your control
Drive Connect+ gives you full BGP visibility, real-time portal monitoring and 24/7 NOC access. Your team stays in control while we handle the carrier-side complexity.
Built for
your operation
Three distinct profiles that get the most from this product - and why it fits each one.
Cloud & SaaS Platform
Running latency-sensitive applications - real-time communications, financial trading, or media streaming - and need carrier-grade IP connectivity with committed-rate (CIR) performance characteristics that differ from hyperscaler shared infra.
