One tunnel.Your whole network.

For ISPs, multi-site corporates, and MSPs who want the carrier invisible.

L2TP tunnel handoff from Giant's UK wholesale broadband network into your LNS gateway. All end-customer traffic emerges from your IP space, on your AS, behind your brand. We carry the routes; you control everything visible. For full white-label reselling without operating an LNS, see the wholesale platform.

End-customer lines under a single tunnel — typical ISP estate.

Provision new customers in seconds by adding a username at your LNS. No per-line carrier ticket. Static IPs from your pool, BGP routes you announce, branding entirely yours.

01Who it's for

Four customer profiles. Different reasons.

L2TP isn't a residential broadband product. It's an infrastructure handoff for operators who run their own network and need wholesale capacity behind it. Four typical buyer profiles below.

White-label residential ISP

You sell broadband under your brand, we wholesale the line. Customer's WAN IP is yours, the carrier handoff is invisible. End-customer sees only you.

Typical examples

Boutique altnets, regional ISPs, community network operators

Multi-site corporate

50–500 branch offices each on a broadband line. All terminate to your HQ via L2TP, route via your central firewall, single security perimeter.

Typical examples

Retail chains, hospitality groups, financial-services branch networks

Managed service provider

You provide broadband as part of a managed-IT contract. L2TP into your NOC keeps QoS, monitoring, and remote-support tooling on a single management plane.

Typical examples

IT-MSPs, hospitality MSPs, healthcare network managers

Public-Wi-Fi operator

Hundreds of guest-Wi-Fi hotspots each backed by a broadband line. L2TP centralises captive-portal authentication + content filtering at your gateway.

Typical examples

Café chains, transport-hub operators, council-area public Wi-Fi

02How it works

Where the packets actually go. Schematic.

The carrier broadband line terminates at our edge, gets encapsulated into an L2TP tunnel, and reappears at your LNS gateway as a PPP session. Your LNS is the customer's first-hop router. We're invisible past the carrier wire.

Your AS + IP space

Round-trip from end-customer to your LNS adds only a small amount of latency on top of the underlying broadband line. We're physically present at the major UK interconnect points — we'll point you at the closest to your data centre for the LNS endpoint.

03Why L2TP over alternatives

Four reasons it's still the wholesale default.

MPLS is heavier. SD-WAN doesn't replace the carrier handoff. Direct fibre is one site only. L2TP is the right shape for many sites under one IP control plane.

One carrier, your IP space

All your end-customer broadband traffic terminates inside your network on your IP space — not the carrier's. You're the ISP-of-record from the customer's perspective.

BGP-routed, static IP pools

Bring your own AS + IPv4/v6 prefixes. We carry your routes via BGP into the tunnel and back out at the carrier edge. Static IPs pooled or allocated per-customer.

Single L2TP gateway

Replace dozens of per-line carrier credentials with a single LNS gateway in your DC / cloud. Provision new customers by adding a username — no carrier ticket required.

Carrier transparency

End-customer traffic appears to come from your IP space. They never see Giant's hostnames, DNS, or carrier branding. Pure white-label.

Technical reference

Specs that
don't surprise you.

Standard L2TPv2 over UDP/1701. We accept BGP, dual-stack v4 + v6, RADIUS auth at either end. The bits that need to integrate with your existing LNS gear all do.

  • ISO 27001

    Our wholesale infrastructure is ISO 27001 certified — audit log + access control evidence available for compliance.

  • Sub-5ms tunnel overhead

    L2TP encapsulation adds <5ms on top of the underlying line. Negligible for everything except gaming.

  • Wholesale API integration

    Provision end-customer lines via the same REST API as our resi/business products. No separate console.

04FAQ

Real questions, honest answers.

Three main customer types: small ISPs / altnets who want to sell broadband under their own brand using Giant's wholesale infrastructure; multi-site corporates with branch offices who want all traffic to come into a central firewall; and managed service providers (IT MSPs, hospitality MSPs) who include broadband as part of a wider managed-IT contract. If you're a single business with one office, you don't need L2TP — a regular leased line is simpler.
