Re-check of the outside research pass, 2026-10-01 (page-reader wording; confirm on the page): The earlier source for the parent was Pomanda (rejected); Companies House gives Spitfire Technology Group Limited. Colt is named among 11 fibre access suppliers on the MPLS page. Cells filled on 2026-10-02 from the outside research pass are Partial unless the re-check confirmed them. Not found means the pass searched and saw nothing, not that it does not exist. Verify each against its source row, then set Decision.

Service and Performance

- Notes
- Re-check of the outside research pass, 2026-10-01 (page-reader wording; confirm on the page): Packet loss is "less than 0.01%" on the Spitfire core network (MPLS page, 2026-09-08). The earlier 100% uptime, under 3 ms and under 45 ms jitter figures belong to leased lines or VoIP and are not entered. Repair times (5 and 7 hours) are for Ethernet and broadband circuits, not MPLS. SLA v2.3 is dated 2021-12-10 and places MPLS and Internet Breakout under Core Network Targets. Check for a newer version. Outside-pass details, unverified (Partial or Not found entered from them): Layer 3 IP VPN (MPLS): MPLS WAN, PWAN; Layer 2 VPLS/E-LAN: Fibre Ethernet, Copper Ethernet; Any-to-any: multi-site networks, central 'cloud'; Internet breakout at PoP: Internet break-out option for MPLS; DIA on same contract: shared Internet access breakout with MPLS. Second research pass 2026-10-02, page-reader summaries: Access bandwidth minimum (Mb/s): value shown with caveat. Product: Ethernet circuits, not stated as MPLS access.
