Welsh ‘notspots’ Prevent Competitive Business

Tourism chiefs claim that a lack of fast broadband is preventing companies based in Wales from being able to compete.

The Wales Tourism Alliance said "tech-savvy" visitors expected make to bookings online and then to stay connected during their trip.  One Pembrokeshire hotelier even spent £8,000 putting in wireless broadband to solve the ‘notspot’ problem faced by so many in Wales. 

However, Bristol-based firm, Avonline believe they have a solution.  They claim that their service uses a powerful satellite over Europe launched earlier this year to bring a guaranteed minimum 6mbps service.  Avonline said it was starting its UK promotion in Wales due to Ofcom's assessment of the poor broadband provision.

A spokeswoman said the Welsh government did not promote or endorse any individual company, system or technology within the broadband support scheme.  According to the Welsh government said there were more than 100 active applications from Pembrokeshire for its broadband support scheme, including five community schemes.

Reach New Speeds with Ethernet First Mile

Faster, more reliable connectivity is now available in the form of Ethernet in the first Mile (EFM).  EFM is a reliable and well-priced connectivity for organisations that need faster connections up and down with resilience at an affordable price, and is a real alternative to a leased line.

This new technique uses existing physical infrastructure whether it is ordinary telephone lines or dark fibre links. It can provide a highly resilient copper based Ethernet service, which has the ability to transfer high bandwidth data at up to 20 Mbps speeds into users’ premises without the need for any end-to-end fibre leased lines.

Ethernet offers true un-contended, symmetric and guaranteed bandwidth that is easy to run QoS (Quality of Service) over. Unlike ADSL, EFM provides a direct Ethernet socket from your local exchange, freeing your phone line. With guaranteed speeds and excellent reliability EFM is perfect for delivering both Hosted & SIP services.
