Digiweb's new network role-out in 2008, ATTN Watty

bigpaddy2004

I was speaking to a Digiweb guy a few days ago, and he informed me they were rolling out a new network next year using Cambridge gear which is going to be a step up & better than the metro service. Have you any info on this Watty?

I doubt its something he could go into onto a public forum if he knows anything about it.

Not at all...one of their own guys told me it must not be top secret in that case....just some info no one heard about yet;)

@ bigpaddy2004
I'd suspect your contact does not know the difference between Metro & Cambridge.

I don't think there is any specifically "New" Network roll-out in 2008, just the usual very busy extending roll-out of existing networks.

I'd think it is unlikely the Cambridge gear is a Metro replacement. Metro roll out is continuing and likely to continue as fast as Digiweb can install it and get the gear. Digiweb doesn't do big fancy TV ads like O2 for iPhone (only 27k sold in UK) which needs advertised as why spend money advertising when demand already near 100% capacity to rollout?

Digiweb has various business solutions that are not widely publicised. Wireless and fibre alternatives to Leased Line, SDSL etc.

The Cambridge gear would likely be in this category. It's not of huge significance as whatever is best value and best meets the customer needs is likely to be deployed. A custom business customer would be getting a data solution, not a particular "cast in stone" brand/product/technology like the ordinary home and buisness Internet Broadband.

If you need something different to DSL, Metro, 2-way Satellite, Wireless or Digiweb Mobile, possibly with something different to simple Internet access on it then you would contact the Business Solutions Group.

I'd probabily only know if someone wanted to spend lots on something that doesn't exist. I'm not involved at all normally with Sales, Network roll-outs, Data centres or Support.

Well I do so much helping of NTL/ IBB/3/O2 customers I have to occasionally explain what Digiweb does or I might not get to post at all.

He did ask

None of it is much relevance to the "ordinary" poster here either.
