What does faster broadband mean to your business?

Faster broadband accelerates:

• large file transfer
• large email attachments
• Multi-site VPN
• Offsite backup service

Engineering, architecture, legal, medical, and numerous other industries will benefit from the increased productivity that faster broadband provides - if your people are waiting on data to transfer, they aren't being productive.

So how do you get faster, business-class broadband?

EtherLoop™ is True Business Broadband - broadband service built with the needs of businesses in mind.

EtherLoop™/G provides speeds from 3mbps up to 45mbps, in 5mbps increments. It doesn’t matter if your office building is served by fiber or not—EtherLoop™ is available in any building within our large service area. EtherLoop™ 3mbps service is available for roughly the same cost as a traditional “T1”—but with over twice the speed, EtherLoop™ relegates T1 to the past.

EtherLoop™/T service, built with traditional T1s, has the same benefits and characteristics, with speeds ranging from 1.5mbps to 12mbps. EtherLoop™/T is available throughout the Denver Metro area, and integrates seamlessly with EtherLoop™/G, so we can provide the broadband and site-to-site connections your business needs regardless of its location.

Unlike DSL or Cable which are built for residential applications and focused only on downloading data, EtherLoop™ provides the same transfer speeds in both directions—down and up. EtherLoop™ also provides true QoS to enable quality VoIP and other mission-critical applications.

Built on foreThought.net’s state-of-the-art fiber-optic gigabit Ethernet backbone network, EtherLoop™ supports the following business-class applications:

High-speed Internet Access

• Symmetric, T1-quality, business-class Broadband

Voice-over-IP

• EtherLoop™ guarantees QoS (Quality of Service) for Voice-over-IP applications.

TLS - Transparent LAN Service

• Connect multiple sites together without expensive and hard to manage "VPN" systems

Video-conferencing

Large File Transfer

High-volume web-site hosting

EtherLoop™ in depth:

Fiber or copper?:

While fiber is truly the way of the future, today only 10% of US businesses have access to fiber networks. It doesn't matter how good fiber is if you can't get it. EtherLoop™ runs over standard telephone wires, using the latest version of the technology (HDSL) that is used worldwide to deliver T1 lines. But each EtherLoop™ runs at 5.7mbps - almost 4 times faster than a T1.

Bonding:

Advanced "loop bonding" seamlessly combines the capacity of up to 8 wires together, providing speeds up to a staggering 45mbps symmetric.

Redundancy:

We provision more loop than needed to provide the speed you want - giving you redundancy in the event of a loop failure. No other copper-based broadband technology offers this.

What about wireless?:

Wi-Fi and similar technologies cannot provide Quality-of-Service necessary for voice, and they are also lacking in overall reliability. EtherLoop™ provides higher reliability than T1, since EtherLoop™ is proactively monitored and managed.
