Level 3 Signs NTL Network Deal
Posted: 06th Oct, 2004 By: MarkJ
Level 3 Communications has signed a new network supply deal with NTL. L3 plans to use its wholesale high-speed Internet access and transport service ((3)CrossRoads) to support NTL's broadband products:
Specifically, Level 3 will supply ntl with multiple 2.5Gbps ports in Manchester and diverse 10Gbps ports in London. In addition, ntl has purchased (3)CrossRoads service from Level 3 in Dublin to enhance the Internet services it delivers to enterprises and wholesale communications companies across Ireland.
With over 3 million customers throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland, ntl has clearly established itself as a leading provider of broadband services, said Brady Rafuse, president of Level 3s European operations. We believe ntls ability to deliver high-quality voice, video and Internet access over a single network connection offers a powerful value proposition to both businesses and consumers, evidenced by IP traffic growth over its network and need to upgrade capacity with Level 3. We are very pleased to be serving as ntls network partner in both countries, and look forward to growing our relationship with this important customer.
We have now significantly enhanced the resilience of our Internet access services by providing more localised points for the collection of regional IP traffic," said Steve Upton, Managing Director of the Networks Division, ntl. Level 3 has demonstrated its continued strong commitment to customers by investing in its backbone, and we are delighted to be working with them on this important initiative.
(3)CrossRoads is an Internet Protocol (IP) service offering a wide range of interface types and access locations, including the gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) customer interface option. Level 3 employs a unique network approach to track the destination and monitor the bandwidth usage of IP packets traveling on or off its high-capacity, continuously upgradeable fibre network.
