Xtreme Broadband - PIPEX Thinking Beyond the Next Million

Broadband Pioneers PIPEX one of the largest providers of ADSL services in the UK today announced its commitment to help deliver the next million xDSL connections to the UK public.

Since launching its self install ADSL service at the beginning of last year (2002) PIPEX have made substantial investment in its Broadband network which has grown an impressive 300 fold and now efficiently delivers in excess of half a Petabyte (500,000 Gigabytes) of data every month to its 60,000 plus loyal DSL customer base. That's the equivalent of a single customer downloading data at full speed 24 hours a day, seven days a week for nearly 250 years; or to quantify it another way, over 4.1 million MP3 downloads each and every day....now that's what you call a record collection!

And as part of PIPEX's continual investment program in its core broadband infrastructure, PIPEX have made a further multi-million pound investment installing new termination and management equipment at its second dedicated Broadband point of presence (POP) in central London. And being one of the UK's first ISPs to deploy 622Mbps BT central connections across its network, the current capacity has grown even further to a staggering 3.5 Gigabits.

We are delighted to celebrate our significant part in achieving the UK's one millionth Broadband ADSL installation and we are confidently looking forward to the next million and beyond".
