Sector Evidence
- Slug
- exponential-e
- Notes
- Transport and logistics is Allport Cargo Services, nine UK sites on VPLS (2016). Professional services is an unnamed law firm, so Partial. Financial services is Partial: London Capital Group on VPLS, 2012, trade press only. Retail is Partial: unnamed UK tyre retailer. Government is Partial: Watford Borough Council VPLS WAN (the quote does not name the service). Healthcare is Partial: Exponential-e's 2022 HSCN datasheet says it is an approved HSCN supplier, but no NHS customer is named; the Hampshire and IoW NHS Trust case study was blocked to the reader and is not entered. Education is Partial: five UCAT academies on a VPLS WAN (2016, over three years old) and Abercorn School on a Smart WAN (undated). Manufacturing, energy and hospitality: nothing network-related found (the Montcalm Hotel page is business internet). Other cases seen: Metropolitan Thames Valley (housing, VPLS) and Havas (media, VPLS, 16 UK sites), not in a listed sector.

- UK PoP count is from the Our Network page (over 190). The about-us version says 200+ across the UK, US and mainland Europe, recorded as the global figure. The cities are the major hubs, not all 190 PoPs. There are 34 UK data centres on-net, no names. US East coast and mainland Europe PoPs are named but no countries. Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, Latin America and China were not found. No NOC count or location was found; the 24/7 UK service desk is described, not a NOC, hence Partial.

- SD-WAN platform names were not found on the SD-WAN page or datasheet (Not found, not a statement that none are offered).

Service and Performance

- Notes
- The Smart Wires service schedule (VPLS and Ethernet access) gives availability targets of 99.9, 99.99 (resilient) and 99.999 (resilient advanced), latency 10 ms (defined one-way to the management network) and 0.1% packet loss for EoF, with no jitter or repair-time figure. 99.99 is recorded as access with resilience. These are access targets, so core availability, latency, jitter, loss and MTTR are Not published. Service credits are published (Smart Wires). Access runs 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps (EoF), plus broadband and cellular, so min 10 and max 10000. Satellite is Partial: Global Managed LEO Services is named in the terms. Cloud on-ramps are Partial: AWS, Google and Azure/Office 365 via ExpressRoute named, but no product names for Direct Connect or Interconnect. DDoS, IPv6, multicast, hub-and-spoke and MEF were not found. The Direct terms are now V4.1. | Lowered from Proven to Partial on 2026-10-06: no Accepted source covers FTTP or broadband access; Direct internet access on the same contract; Service credits published. Evidence is reader-summary, group-level or not yet checked on the live page. | Restored to Proven 2026-10-06: live page check now supports Direct internet access on the same contract.

Operations and Assurance
- Slug
- exponential-e
- Notes
- ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 22301 and Cyber Essentials Plus are Partial because the page gives certificate numbers or scheme wording without a registrar record (BSI directory not checked). The ISO 22301 number differs between two reads. HSCN is a provider statement and still needs the NHS list (the NHS page was not opened). RM6116 is confirmed on the CCS Lot 1a list (Tier 2). G-Cloud is Partial: supplier page mentions network services but no MPLS or VPLS listing. Portal is Proven (self-service web portal, Schedule J). Monitoring is Proven (24/7 circuit monitoring). API, PSN, SC clearance and a change management process were not found. No enforcement found in a search; Ofcom enforcement list not read in full. | HSCN confirmed on NHS England CN-SP list (24 Aug 2026).
