speed of web services
31st May, 2005. Fasthosts Internet, a leading independent
provider of online services in the UK has selected a managed
internet connection from Telewest Business to support delivery of
its web services to a growing number of customers.
The managed internet connection from Telewest Business will offer
Fasthosts Internet necessary bandwidth to embark on expansion of
its web services range. Fasthosts Internet’s award winning product
portfolio already includes web hosting, domain registration, email
and application hosting, dedicated servers and broadband
connectivity.
The 500MB connection provided by Telewest Business via a 1GB
bearer will help Fasthosts deliver 6 millions emails a day to its
customers faster and more efficiently. It will also ensure that
Fasthosts' network is continuously monitored for any irregularities
and outages.
“At Fasthosts, the speed and efficiency with which we deliver
our services is critical,” said Andrew Michael, CEO, Fasthosts
Internet. “With managed connection from Telewest Business, we can
ensure that our network is always monitored, and any downtime is
dealt with straight away. This builds customers’ confidence as they
can rely on us and go about their daily business carefree.” Later
this year, Fasthosts is planning to upgrade to its full 1GB
capacity, as well as to install additional fibre lines to offer
further scalability of its network. Fasthosts has chosen Telewest
Business due to its extensive fibre presence in the UK, and
long-standing relationship and quality of service delivered by the
company since 1999.
