* What do we mean by fair usage? For the Sublight products we want to make it simple, based on the size of the business and the anticipated usage. Also, with the Sublight products get the same Service Level Agreement you currently get from Comcast and other incumbent providers, which is “best effort.” For the Warp and Transwarp products, customers get a Service Level Agreement (SLA) money-back guarantee. To offer graded service, we measure the traffic on the customer’s circuit, and if the customer keeps to their Fair Usage figure 95% of the time, then they are OK. If a customer has sustained usage for more than five minutes for more than 5% of the time every month, then we will ask the customer to purchase an upgrade.
One cool thing about this new fiber network is that for the Sublight and Warp products we install the same Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) in every customer’s site. We will then use software in our Network Operations Center to control the speed and measurement characteristics for each customer. What this means for you is that if you want to upgrade or downgrade your service, all you need to do is make the request and we can perform the upgrade with a simple software command. The exception is if you wish to go to 10 Gigabit service — then we need to upgrade the CPE to 10 Gigabit.
New Applications and Efficiencies Possible
Through the use of Telnexus fiber, small businesses may now use Internet-based services more easily and with greater efficiency and higher performance. Applications that stand to gain effectiveness by installing Telnexus fiber include Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone service, video conferencing and file storage services. Telnexus fiber also facilities the use of Software as a Service web sites that offer full business applications on the web. Telnexus broadband services ultimately helps business owners increase their cash flow and avoid costly computer and telephone server purchases by using the Internet to run their businesses.
Having access to a pervasive, metropolitan-based, gigabit-speed private network can bring new levels of IT operational efficiencies to multi-location businesses, institutions and governmental agencies. Enterprises save on networking equipment purchases by using private Ethernet networks to link sites at gigabit speeds. By making more network resources appear in a single logical local area network, Enterprises can centralize and concentrate server resources so that they may be shared more effectively.
