Asheville, NC, March 3, 2009 – Uber Bandwidth (http://UberBandwidth.com),
a leading provider of high-performance high-value bandwidth to the data center colocation
community, announced today that it has surpassed its first connectivity milestone
of offering over a dozen Tier 1 connections to its customers. Utilizing their
1-Terabit-capable network, Uber Bandwidth has achieved this goal while remaining the
value leader in the industry at $3.99/mbps.
“Thirteen and growing monthly,” counts Jonathan Hoppe, Uber Bandwidth’s Chief Technology
Officer. “That’s how many Tier-1 Internet providers our colocation customers
can now access at the Uber Center in Asheville, North Carolina. You can watch
the number of Tier-1 providers increase and see who they are right on our website.
We have open negotiations with a dozen other providers, and once we reach acceptable
agreements we’ll be adding them in to the mix as well. Our plans for the future
are big. We’re running diverse path fiber to other carrier hotels around the
United States, and by the end of 2009 we hope to directly peer with over 100 networks.
We are well on our way to creating the most extreme network of multiple 10-gigabit
connections to every major network in the U.S., Canada and Europe.”
To accentuate their new connectivity milestone, Uber Bandwidth’s website got a facelift
too. Chief Operating Officer, John Thompson, comments: “Prospective clients
have given rave reviews to the website’s new user-friendly features. It adds
online pricing not only for bandwidth but also for the Uber Center colocation space
and power, from 1 rack unit up to a full cabinet and more. And to evaluate the
robustness of our network, there’s now a third-party speed test to use by just clicking
a button on our website. Perhaps most mentioned, however, is the new blog that
posts timely information about such topics as: ‘Who is your current list of
Tier-1 providers? How can you offer premium bandwidth at $3.99/mbps when everyone
else is way higher? And why is your flagship data center not in a major city?’
Many more topics will be addressed on the Uber Bandwidth blog in the weeks ahead.”
