The top 10 Reasons why Metro Ethernet is better

Metro Ethernet is the unbeatable Internet access and network services platform for today and tomorrow - here are 10 reasons why:

10. Ease of use. Just plug in to Metro Ethernet and your are connected to everything on the Internet and your remote sites, no different than an office network.

9. It's symmetrical. Metro Ethernet is internet access that's extremely fast for both send and receive. Most existing broadband DSL connection are asymmetrical, the upload is much slower than the download, making many video and audio, conferencing and collaborating applications run poorly.

8. Massive bandwidth. Metro Ethernet is just plain FAST! - Anywhere from a megabit per second to a gigabit per second, depending on the service. That's up to 1000 times faster than a typical residential or small business connection. No more World Wide Wait!

7. Flexibility. Ethernet can be provisioned quickly and in very precise increments, which means customers pay for exactly the bandwidth they need, and Ethernet can adapt to a very wide range of network configurations and topologies seamlessly.

6. Compatibility. With over 300 million connections worldwide, Ethernet is the ultimate network standard - it works with just about any software or computing device in the known universe.

5. Future proof. Metro Ethernet is a global movement that is supported by virtually all major network equipment companies. Experts agree, the future of broadband is Ethernet.

4. Universal platform. Because it’s fast, symmetrical and highly compatible with the Internet, Metro Ethernet provides a universal network infrastructure for integrated voice, video, Internet access, security, entertainment, education, and ecommerce applications.

3. Cost-effective. Ethernet is a well understood and proven technology that is very cost-effective, both in the Metro Ethernet and the customer premise. So Metro Ethernet saves you money in terms of lower recurring telecommunication charges, as well as lower equipment, software, and administration costs.

2. Highly dependable. Ethernet is today used for the world's most mission-critical applications and financial services worldwide. It's highly dependable and consequently suitable for services that affect the lives and work of millions of users all across Europe.

1. And the number one reason why Metro Ethernet is worlds better than modems, ADSL and leased lines, its real broadband.

Are you ready to become a stakeholder in one of the most significant industrial developments of our time? What's happening here is a next generation Internet infrastructure that will change the way people live and work forever and for better
