Converged ADSL2+ is here

1st December 2009

Back in 2006, Converged Communication Solutions was the first independent Scottish Internet service provider to offer ADSL Max, and in 2009 we've gone and done it again!

Following extensive trials, Converged Communication Solutions Ltd is the first independent Scottish ISP to offer the ground-breaking ADSL2+ LLU product, providing businesses with increased bandwidth and faster internet connection speeds.

This adds to the 'standard' ADSL2+ WBC (BT Wholesale Broadband Connect) product which Converged has had available for the last three months - again a Scottish first!

These 'Local Loop Unbundled' ADSL2+ services allow businesses to have a DSL service which does not rely on the BT Wholesale network. This brings additional benefits, such as the ability to bond multiple lines into a single 'super-connection' and the opportunity to have an enhanced upload speed (up to 2.4Mbit/s via Annex M).

Comparison Chart

	ADSL Max	ADSL2+ WBC	ADSL2+ LLU

Download Speed:	Up to 8,192kbps	Up to 24,576kbps	Up to 20,480kbps (Annex M)
All speeds are subject to distance from the telephone exchange and environmental factors, such as quality of wiring

Newer services across the Internet will be more accessible

Andrew Pearson, director, Converged, said: "ADSL2+ will allow users to obtain more bandwidth for little or no extra outlay. Existing services (email traffic, web browsing, downloads and uploads) will be quicker, with newer services on the internet, such as video streaming, becoming more accessible."

"We are delighted to be the first independent Scottish Internet service provider to offer this broadband package. I believe it will enhance our clients' productivity by offering greater speed and flexibility. Our aim has always been to provide a personal service that ensures our clients get the best solution for their communication needs."
