BT have completed a project to open up over 600 new internet access points thorough the country and one of these is in Redruth.
What this means is that businesses now have an alternative to traditional ADSL broadband to provide their internet connectivity
Broadband is a generic term we use to describe ADSL, a product we all now and use to give us fast internet access.
The two inherent issues with ADSL are;
1. There are limited products available with service level agreements to suit businesses
2. The upload and download speeds differ. This means they are great for downloading content but not so good if you pass data back to the net
Lease lines solve these issues.
1. BT leased lines come with a 100% up time SLA so short of a major disaster your connectivity is guaranteed
2. Lease lines carry the same upload and download speeds
3. Lease lines are presented on fibre so you can get much faster connection if you need it. Currently up to 100Mbps!
So why now?
Well, when the fibre for a leased line is installed you pay for the distance covered to the nearest connection to the internet. For some time this has been Plymouth. With the access points the distance from Cornish businesses to the exchange is greatly reduced, as is the cost.
This is also good news for the Cornish economy. With connectivity of this nature larger companies and smaller internet intensive companies will be attracted to Cornwall.
