Neos Networks Bring National 400Gbps Services to UK Businesses
Network operator Neos Networks, which operates one of the fastest growing and highest capacity business fibre networks in the UK – spanning 34,000km, 550 exchanges and 676 Points of Presence (PoPs), has today launched its new national 400Gbps Optical Wavelength services across 26 data centres (they have a total of 90 on-net).
Previously the highest capacity links available to businesses on Neo’s network tended to be 100Gbps (Gigabits per second), thus the new service represents quite a significant capacity boost. The service itself will initially, this month, only be available from 26 data centres, but they intend to roll it out to the majority of their PoPs over the “following months“.
The availability of 400Gbps wavelength services will enable scalability on customer backhaul capacity. Over the new service, Neos will facilitate bespoke customer requirements regarding route security, separation, latency, redundancy and availability to meet dynamic connectivity requirements. Neos Networks also provides optical resiliency and encryption options for those that require higher levels of security.

Neos said they can now provision 400Gbps Optical Wavelengths in addition to 10Gbps, and 100Gbps variants, with multiple wavelengths able to be provisioned between sites. By leasing wavelengths, businesses only pay for the capacity they need, but they can also scale up as and when needed.
Mark Charlesworth, Director of Product at Neos Networks, said:
“There is huge demand for high capacity, high bandwidth, low latency services among today’s businesses. For those organisations that handle the transport of huge quantities of data, Optical connectivity services have been revolutionary.
The launch of our national 400Gbps service again demonstrates our commitment to continuously driving innovation and delivering market leading connectivity services that meet with our customers’ evolving data demands.
These capacities are not commonplace in the market, that’s why we’ve launched a dynamic and flexible solution tailored to meet specific and unique business needs.”
Neos has also provided a new map, which names the first 26 data centres to benefit from this.

I am upgrading to 10Gbps so when it’s done this will be nice for performance.
Indeed. Respecting Mark’s site and comments policy discuss privately via LinkedIn.
I ain’t on it – come knock my door I can show you my leased line and shut you up for good.
Get on it given you seem to use it and drop me a note, or PM me on the ISPR forum or TBB. It all works and I’m easy enough to find. Thanks.
Having watched this ding-dong for some time now, you’re clearly the aggressor @hehe or @tinyhuman or whatever you’re calling yourself today Peter.
I would recommend you take @XGS Is On up on his offer to show you are not a coward on top of all the other things you are being accused of.
Thank you, Sydney, but no ‘aggressor’ here and, regardless, aggression irrelevant.

This is not the place for this conversation but it clearly, sadly, needs to be had given earlier comments today threatening my career and, in turn, family.
Gentle reminder.
My inboxes across all four platforms mentioned, LinkedIn / ISPR / TBB / email don’t seem to have a message in them on this matter yet.
Seems unlikely the earlier messages haven’t been read by now given how frequent replies were yesterday daytime.
Look forward to some direct communication at your earliest convenience. Thank you.
Anyone would think he has something to hide.
Looks that way. Very odd given earlier comments regarding my manhood among many other things.
Oh well. Have a good weekend, Sydney.
Yup, looks like I won’t be knocking a door and won’t be shut up for good. Only real explanations are something to hide or being scared of me.
If it’s actually there wouldn’t even need to let me in: I could find out from the address and if necessary outside if there’s a leased line there so we can ge the second explanation out of the way.
It’s what it is, and I’m glad it’s straightened out. I was briefly concerned but certainly looks like it wasn’t necessary. Happy to pseudoanonymously call me out but when that was accepted immediately goes quiet.
Internet drama. Have to love it. Cheers to those who might read this and sent me messages of suppport: greatly appreciated. Back to things that actually matter: exam coming up and promotion board.
@XGS Is On
You have lots of support out here.
What could you even do with 400Gbps?
14,285 4K UHD Netflix streams all at once. That’s what.
Backhaul lots of customers on services up to and including 100G.
