Pipex increases capacity to 20Gb with the London Internet Exchange
Pipex Network Services is making major enhancements to high speed Internet connectivity with two new 10Gb Ethernet ports into the London Internet Exchange (LINX). The performance-boosting connections enable Pipex to route traffic to other service providers more quickly and cost-effectively through the London-based Internet hub, reinforcing its capabilities to offer customers reliable, high performance Internet services.
As a longstanding member of LINX – one of the world's largest neutral peering points – this increased capacity will enable Pipex to reduce its costs for carrying traffic and ensure that services are always available for customers. Pipex has made this investment due to more businesses and home-users joining its services and a greater demand for bandwidth from customers.
Pipex recently came top of the five largest ADSL suppliers in a nation-wide customer satisfaction survey carried out by uSwitch.com and YouGov. 80 per cent of Pipex customers were satisfied with their speed/usage, while 89 per cent were satisfied with the quality of the Pipex connection.
“The investment in the 20Gb connections with LINX is an important step towards building an Internet infrastructure that is truly equipped for triple play – offering voice, data and television over a single connection,” says Maria Cappella, managing director, Pipex Network Services. “Customers are becoming more demanding for Internet connectivity and bandwidth, and investments such as these help to ensure entertainment- and business continuity.”
“At a time when many ISPs are talking more about price than service delivery, it’s encouraging to see forward thinking companies like Pipex continuing to invest in high speed connectivity,” says John Souter, CEO at LINX. “We would urge other service providers to follow Pipex’s lead as further investments increase the quality of Internet connectivity for everyone involved.”
