Easynet, the pan-European corporate network provider, has launched its EtherStream service in the UK. The new service uses Ethernet in the First Mile technology to deliver symmetrical, uncontended speeds of up to 24Mbits/s. For the first time, businesses can experience vast capacity using an existing cost-effective copper network. Successfully launched by Easynet in the Netherlands in 2005 and now available in the UK, the service is the latest addition to Easynet’s product portfolio. This new cost-effective Wide Area Network access dramatically increases the availability of world class, resilient infrastructure services. EtherStream will drive convergence and will make new applications a reality for the many thousands of businesses previously restricted to the expense of upgrading to fibre. Enterprises with multiple locations can use EtherStream to create an MPLS VPN at European level. Any growth in bandwidth demands can also be met without costly upgrades or complicated migration processes EtherStream will shortly be available at 200 exchanges across the UK – reaching 60% of all UK businesses – with this set to expand significantly to provide UK-wide coverage.
