Increase in SDSL expected as cloud computing takes off

Cloud computing is on the increase – potentially meaning a big rise in business for SDSL providers such as Managed Comms.

For those not in the know, cloud computing is the outsourcing of data storage to other companies for a cost. It means companies do not have to pick up expensive hardware solutions in order to look after important information.

According to research company TechMarketView, the cloud computing industry is currently worth just 7.5 per cent of the £8billion UK market for software but it will rise to around £1.2billion by 2012. For this to occur, two times as many consumers and businesses will be signing up with SDSL providers like Managed Comms in order to use Google Apps and other web-based services.

Phillip Carnelley, senior analyst at TechMarketView, claimed the increase comes due to a shift in how software is used: “In the old days, big companies used to generate their own electricity. But they do not do that anymore. Software is going the same way - let others do the processing. This is not just analysts hyping things up. It is a genuine shift.”

SDSL providers can therefore expect an increase in business, as firms will look to take out leased line connections with high upload speeds in order to ensure their data remains safe and can be quickly moved between locations.

Firms looking to stay ahead of the curve should enquire about SDSL products with one of our knowledgeable Managed Comms representatives.

2Mbps single line SDSL plays part for arts council

Consumers looking for the best possible broadband deal may find that changing SDSL providers is a great way to get the right deal for their needs.

Ofcom, the independent UK regulatory body for consumers, has put together a guide to help people make the right choice when they begin evaluating possible SDSL providers, with a host of great tips covering all aspects of making the big change.

For example, the organisation advised consumers to ensure that they operate within the terms of their current agreement before they take the plunge and switch SDSL providers. Check the small print to find out exactly what your rights are in such an instance. This can help avoid charges associated with prematurely ending an SDSL providers contract.

In addition, it is important to get your MAC code from your ISP once you decide to leave them. This code helps customers change SDSL providers with the minimum of fuss, the body explained.

Managed Comms offers a number of great deals and is one of the frontrunners among SDSL providers. With over eight years experience in the industry, you can be sure that all our technicians and advisers know exactly what they’re doing.

A village in the UK has decided to go against the broadband internet deals offered by BT and instead set up its own high-speed service.

Residents of Lyddington raised £370,000 between them in order to ensure a superfast 40Mbps connection was possible for the village’s 200 homes. The network operates under Rutland Telecom and marks the first time in telecommunications history that an area has been completely cut off from the local BT exchange.

People looking for an internet connection faster and more secure than those offered by BT can turn to Managed Comms for a superfast SDSL line. With a service rate of 99.99 per cent, customers can rest assured that a high-quality line is always available wherever they are.

Technology enthusiast Stephen Fry was brought up near Lyddington and welcomed the move. He told the BBC: “It has always been a frustration that fast, reliable broadband service has always been hardest for those who most benefit - those in the countryside.”

More and more people are looking beyond BT for their internet connections. An SDSL line with Managed Comms is the perfect solution for those who cannot access a BT exchange. Indeed, Managed Comms has access to a greater number of exchanges nationwide, meaning that a superfast SDSL line can be achieved wherever you are.

If you are interested in setting up an SDSL line in any area of the UK, feel free to contact Managed Comms to set up a quote today.

SDSL provider Managed Comms is very much aware that the subject of superfast broadband is well and truly in the spotlight at the moment.

The Conservative party has announced plans to roll out a high-speed network in major urban areas while Labour wants to introduce a 50p tax on existing landlines to widen access.

And BT has been putting the finishing touches to a £1.5 billion fibre-optic network in parts of Greater Manchester; some 100,000 homes and businesses are expected to gain access.

However, the SDSL provider has admitted that its service – which should deliver download speeds peaking at 40Mbps and significantly lower upload rates – will not be available to everyone even in these isolated areas due to technical reasons.

One thing seems to have been overlooked, however; leading SDSL provider Managed Comms can already deliver superfast broadband speeds.

Our bonded symmetric digital subscriber lines have been giving businesses download and upload speeds of up to 32 Mbps for some time, which is more than enough to enjoy cloud computing, lightening fast system backups and HD videoconferencing.

What’s more, unlike some SDSL providers we can provide access to the majority of UK businesses.

As well as delivering to companies near the 1,076 BT SDSL-enabled exchanges, we also have access to a host of other exchanges.

So even if you’ve been told by BT that it’s not possible to get rapid SDSL in your area, you may still be able to get superfast broadband speeds with Managed Comms.

Managed Comms firmly believes in the merits of SDSL UK so we were heartened to see a new study that puts Britain in the vanguard of digital subscriber line uptake.

According to a major report by technology analysts Point Topic, no fewer than six of the top ten broadband countries accessed the web most often with DSL rather than alternatives like cable modems and FTTx.

Those countries were the UK, China, Germany, France, Italy and Brazil.

Managed Comms is one of the biggest advocates of premium digital subscriber lines; for example, we have led the way when it comes to promoting bonded SDSL UK.

More and more businesses are finding that our SDSL UK service can provide remarkably high data transfer rates for significantly less than the cost of a dedicated leased line.

Any doubters have quickly been won over by the promise of a 99.9 per cent service level agreement that guarantees the speeds they will receive.

With such strong SDSL UK offerings around, it’s little wonder that Britain boasts one of the most mature broadband markets in the region.

The Point Topic figures indicate that the UK has the third largest number of digital subscriber line users in western Europe (14.48 million), behind only Germany (22.64 million) and France (17.74 million).

And when you consider that both these countries have larger populations than us, it soon becomes obvious that British broadband customers really know a good deal when they see it.

Superfast broadband has been declared the electricity of our time by none other than the prime minister himself.

In a landmark speech, Gordon Brown highlighted the importance of a good web connection and paved the way for a rush towards the higher speeds offered by products like Managed Comms’ SDSL.

Although a typical Managed Comms symmetric digital subscriber line offers 2Mbps upstream and downstream in isolation, it’s possible to bond several together to get phenomenal performance.

Many companies choose to bond four SDSL lines – equivalent to 8Mbps – while some choose to go for the ultimate 16 line package to obtain an astonishing 32Mbps.

And Mr Brown argued that improved upload and download rates like these will revolutionise the public and private sectors.

“Faster broadband speeds will bring new, cheaper, more personalised and more effective public services to people,” he said.

“It will bring games and entertainment options with new levels of sophistication; it will make accessing goods and services immeasurably easier.”

Moreover, he added that it was important for everyone to be able to access the proposed high-speed network because “superfast broadband is the electricity of the digital age”.

Any business that makes the switch to a Managed Comms SDSL will be amazed by the new opportunities opened up by superfast broadband.

HD video conferencing, cloud computing and the ability to use even the most demanding online programs are just some of the potential benefits of SDSL.

And with Managed Comms, it won’t be long before you realise that superfast broadband really is every bit as important as electricity.

An independent study has detected a significant drop in broadband prices fuelled in part by our market-leading deals.

SDSL remains one of the most cost-effective ways of receiving fast broadband; for instance, Managed Comms sells market-leading SDSL priced at just £99 per month.

What’s more, this particular product has a 1:1 contention ratio so you don’t have to worry about congestion caused by sharing the line with other users.

It’s a perfect illustration of how the UK boasts one of the most competitive high-speed broadband markets in the world.

According to the research from broadband intelligence providers Point Topic, average SDSL prices per megabit dropped by an astonishing 30 per cent over a 12-month period from 2008 to 2009.

Compare that to the likes of the middle east and Africa, where SDSL broadband can cost up to six times as much, and it quickly becomes apparent that deals such as Managed Comms’ £99 line are not to be missed.

Looking at the report in more detail, it appears cable broadband gradually dropped in price over the course of the year.

But the cost of fibre optic broadband actually rose by approximately 2.1 per cent.

Managed Comms offers highly competitive SDSL business packages in the UK with a variety of speeds to suit individual clients’ needs, wide geographic coverage and excellent customer service.

In addition, as the owners of the sought-after domain name SDSL.co.uk, Managed Comms customers can be confident that they really are dealing with the experts.
