NE1 Updates
NE1 Signup Pattinson Estate Agents.Press Release – 18th August 2011 NE1 Internet (Newcastle ONE Leisure Limited) are pleased to announce their first signup to NE8 Metro, the Next Generation Internet Service based in Gateshead. NE1 are providing Keith Pattinson Estate Agents with a next generation internet service for their premises in Hills Street, Gateshead for use by their sales and surveying departments. The next generation NE8 Metro connection is being provided over a private fibre from the nearby NE1 Data Centre, offering Pattinson’s the ability to take on up to 10Gb of dedicated bandwidth. NE8 Metro is delivered over a fibre optic network managed by NE1 and is a superfast and state of the art world-class fibre network as fast and reliable as any in the world. Pattinson’s chose the NE8 Metro service over traditional ADSL Broadband which is provided over the BT Openreach copper network, the ADSL signal deteriorates the further from the exchange the customer is, because NE8 Metro is delivered over fibre optic cabling, the signal does not deteriorate and speeds are guaranteed up to 10Gb per second. ADSL providers usually provide a contended service with a ratio of between 20:1 (Business) and 50:1 (Residential), this allows them to aggregate capacity at the local telephone exchange and can result in slower throughput for ADSL users. If an ADSL user has a line speed of 10Mb, they may well have a throughput which is substantially lower. NE8 Metro does not operate on a contended service, end users who subscribe to 10Mb will achieve 10Mb. Subscribers to the NE8 Metro service will also have the option to 'flex' their bandwidth, if a period of high usage is anticipated, the size of the internet connection can be increased with only four hours notice. Other value added services include Content Filtering, network management and server co-location. Ken Mosley, Managing Director for NE1 said “As well as offering this blisteringly fast connection, we can offer a multitude of additional services over the NE8 connection, like inter office VPN, content filtering and much more, we’re pleased to have Pattinson’s on board and look forward to a long and productive relationship with one of our closest neighbours in Gateshead. Tony Bennett, ICT Manager for Pattinson’s said “The NE8 Metro service gives us the opportunity to bolster our disaster recovery planning, NE8 Metro provides us with a diverse internet connection at the same time as allowing us to ‘flex’ our bandwidth according to demand. Our previous internet connection was provided over ADSL and had frequent slowdowns caused mainly by congestion on the providers network. NE8 Metro will guarantee availability at the same time as providing uncontended bandwidth.” See www.ne1.info for full details.
