Since large fast connections are still very expensive, many Internet hosting companies combine a collection of small slow lines together claiming they have fast speeds to the Internet. At InterSpots, we're different. We have 24 strands of fibre-optic lines from Edmonton's core wire centre directly to our facility. This connectivity allows us the freedom to provide our customers with shared or dedicated connections to major Internet backbones such as AT&T, Sprint, Bell, and Telus.
With our advanced monitoring and multiple fibre-optic connections, we are properly equipped to anticipate future Internet connectivity needs and obtain more capacity to meet those needs. The end result being added redundancy, directly improving network uptime and service level guarantees.
