THUS was one of the first operators in the UK to offer Ethernet data products over its next-generation network (NGN), and has seen a steady growth in market penetration since the launch in 2002.

THUS' National and City Ethernet products are carried over its NGN, one of the first in the UK, and provide connections for blue chip, private and public sector customers via 190 points of presence (POPs) and 15 Metropolitan Area Networks. Customers benefit greatly from Ethernet solutions not only because they can achieve higher bandwidths at a lower cost per megabit, (making the technology ideal for supporting bandwidth hungry applications) but also because THUS' Ethernet data products are fully scalable, supporting simple point-to-point connections through to networks with hundreds of sites.
