Thinkbroadband has spotted an important announcement on
Timico's site. It reveals that the provider has finally completed delivery of its high speed pipe into
BT Wholesale's Broadband Managed Connect (WBMC) network.
Completion of the two 1Gbps IP connections mean that the ISP is ready for the launch of
BT's 21C Network, which will enable delivery of new services, including 'up to' 24Mbps (ADSL2+) broadband products:
With the pipe now in place, Timico is on track to start trialling customer migrations over to
BT's 21CN link. These customers will then be able to benefit from Timico's ADSL2+ service, which will deliver speeds of up to 24Mb/second - three times faster than
BT's ADSL Max product.
"
As one of the early connectivity trialists for the BT 21CN, we are delighted that we have completed our pipe in such good time and are confident that soon our customers will be able to benefit from the Timico advanced telephony and IP services that we will be able to deliver via our super fast ADSL2+ broadband connection," says Chris Tombs, Chief Executive of Timico Group.
In time, all customers of Timico, including those who currently get their A/SDSL connectivity through the wholly-owned subsidiaries of KeConnect and Twang.net, will benefit from the enhancements.
