We’re pleased to announce that we’ve added Tiscali International to our bandwidth provider list.
The advantage of TINet is its resilience from London, as TINet’s Manchester POP (to which we connect) has direct connectivity to Dublin (as opposed to just London like most providers), which then connects to the USA and Paris bypassing London, i.e. Manchester would still connect to the USA and to mainland Europe even in case of a major London outage.
This gives our Manchester customers a real advantage with fully London-diverse bandwidth delivery, something that few providers, even North-West based, can boast.
The Tiscali transit has already been added to our BGP routing so you’ll see some routes going over the Tiscali connection already.
This new connection is part of a significant programme of investment in the strengthening of our network which is underway this year.
