Internet Connections Mission Critical? - use a resilient and carrier independent connection from Direct-IP High Speed, Resilient Network Direct-IP runs two independent Dual STM-1 rings around the UK to provide the maximum resilience and connectivity possible. This topology provides a sustainable capacity of 310mb per second, with near instantaneous failover support. Each of our 29 POP’s throughout the UK has direct access to both rings and this means that Direct-IP provides the fastest connectivity in the region. Carrier independent Direct-IP’s internet connection is unique. Via our London POP, we have in place direct connectivity with 6 of the largest IP carriers in the world, including Spirit, Genuity, Telia, Cable and Wireless, Level3 and Colt. This connectivity is totally independent of any one carrier. Unlike a normal ‘leased line’, our network independent connectivity allows Direct-IP to instantly change carrier, without affecting our customers. Our network testing ensures that we are always connected to the best carrier and therefore so are our clients. In the event that one carrier fails, we can simply switch to another - a great advantage in these uncertain times. Burstable options We can also provide a burstable service using 95th percentile billing. This type of billing means that you could run your service continuously at the full burst for up to 65 minutes a day - with no financial penalty. Cost Effective Solutions Using the latest local IP delivery systems, Direct-IP’s price structure leverages both our bulk buying power and our resilient network to pass dramatic savings on to our customers. At Direct-IP we have proved that we are the most cost effective and reliable IP solution available.
