Entanet, which supplies several UK ISPs (Aquiss, ADSL24, UKFSN etc.) with broadband ADSL services, has become the first non-BT wholesaler to utilise the newer IPStream Connect (IPSC) to deliver IPStream connections to its partners. The move allows Entanet's partners to shift their broadband customers off of BT's existing IPStream Centrals, which cost more to run, and onto the cheaper IPStream Connect (IPSC) product.

In order to utilise IPSC Entanet has installed Multi-Service Interconnect Links (MSILs) in 10 BT 21CN nodes around the country. It has already installed equipment at all 20 BT21CN nodes in order to take Wholesale Broadband Connect (WBC) and was also the first non-BT wholesaler to use this platform to deliver ADSL2+ (24Mbps) broadband services on BT21CN in July 2008:


Naturally Entanet claims to have already made its transition successfully and is therefore able to help other providers who wish to do the same. Some UK ISPs are understandably unhappy with how BT has gone about delivering its new products, although all such providers will ultimately be forced to adapt.
