Easynet Global Services has launched the next generation of its EtherStream V fibre access service, with 320Mbps download and 80Mbps upload speeds. In addition, because Easynet is squeezing more bandwidth from the copper services already in place, there is no need for the disruption or costs that can come from major fibre installations.
Easynet said that this provides flexibility, crucial in a market which sees the frequent consolidation and integration of different IT systems as housing providers change in structure and make acquisitions, as well as the ability to implement cloud-based, centralised data centres and new ways of working such as BYOD and unified communications, all of which place additional strains on the available bandwidth of existing networks.
