Jan 16 2013: Ask4 delivers superfast broadband to Westbrook Court
SUPERFAST broadband is coming to one of Sheffield’s most prestigious business developments thanks to Ask4.
Westbrook Court is an impressively converted former Georgian snuff mill in the Sharrow area of the city.
But it is coming firmly into the 21st century with the support of Sheffield based award winning superfast fibre optic internet service provider Ask4.
Ask4 were initially approached by Westbrook Court tenant 121 IT, the company that provides high quality, professional, reliable and cost effective IT support and consultancy to businesses.
Ask4 went beyond the standard ADSL broadband, which is limited to 24 Megabits per second, providing 121 IT Services with a fibre connection that will deliver lightning-fast speeds reaching up to 100Mbps, a figure that should be tripled by the end of 2013.
And now 121 IT will be acting as the sole on site point of contact between Ask4 and other tenants at Westbrook Court, ensuring a consistent and reliable level of broadband service.
“Most Businesses can only afford xDSL products from the better known brands on the available market, such as the classic ADSL connection of up to 8Mb down or the newer 21CN ADSL2+ of up to 24Mb down,” Ask4 Business Sales Manager George Powell explained.
“Mass market products that are typically available have a single point of failure via the local exchange and local cabinet but Ask4 Business bypass all of this and remove these points, improving reliability of the line into the office.
“Clients see a significant difference in stability and because we don’t route the connection through the lines used by neighbours, there are no longer slow speeds during busy times of the day.
“Thanks to this stability that is standard with any Ask4 connection, clients like 121 IT and the other users of the service at Westbrook Court can confidently take advantage of connection-reliant technologies such as Hosted VOIP.
“As all aspects of industry begin to depend increasingly on Cloud based technologies, it is important for them to know that they have a reliable and stable line that they can trust and will not let them down.
“Everyone now wants to be able to take advantage of the library of Cloud technologies to improve their ROI but to do that they do have to know they can depend on a safe and secure infrastructure that will not fail.”
Adrian Lane, of 121 IT, commented: “Faster speeds and faster downloads mean that we can consume and share more information online than ever before.
“Thanks to fibre optic broadband, the future of the internet is both bright and speedy.”
