UK ISP Easynet has expanded its HDSL based SureStream leased line services (1 to 4Mbps) beyond London to areas of Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Bristol, Glasgow and Edinburgh:
The move brings the offer of dedicated symmetric 1Mbps, 2Mbps and 4Mbps wide area network (Wan) connections backed by service level agreements (SLAs) to more UK firms.
Subscribers pay a set-up fee of £1,995, which includes the cost of a Cisco 2611XM router and installation, then annual rental fees of £3,995 for the 1Mbps service, £5,795 for the 2Mbps service and £9,495 for the 4Mbps service.
The price of the 2Mbps connection can compare favourably to the price of an E1 leased line from other providers in some cases.We note that the primary difference between ADSL / SDSL and HDSL is that HDSL is a dedicated one-to-one medium rather than a shared platform. More @
