| High-speed internet initiative in Leeds set to improve streaming media access |

Leeds is to benefit from a new high-speed internet initiative which will improve connectivity for streaming media services.
The high-speed fibre network will be installed throughout Leeds' business district, enabling companies to have access to 100Mbps download speeds - ten times faster that the national average. The super-fast internet services, which are currently only available in The Calls area, will be installed by Yorkshire-based telecommunications provider aql. Carl Waters, managing director of postproduction and editing company VTR, which trialled the service, said the high-speed connection means the firm can now upload 40 commercials in an hour to its London-based partners as opposed to 45 minutes per commercial. Adam Beaumont, managing director of aql, said: "This model allows many businesses to get a head start on their competitors, reaping the advantages of high-speed working long before the delivery of the Digital Britain promise." He added that smart companies are increasingly realising the business advantages of using high-speed cables for their internet connection. Live Hosting – http://www.groovygecko.com/  |
