As broadband has become more widely available, Internet and data use has progressed to more complex and bandwidth-intensive applications. This has led to strong consumer demand for higher bandwidth solutions that can provide a rapid and compelling experience. Peer-to-peer applications, Web servers from home-based businesses, gaming, video conferencing and telecommuting are a few of the uses that are creating the demand for higher bandwidth and lower delays.
Until recently, most consumers had only two broadband service options: ADSL or cable modem. ADSL service is not available in many geographic and rural areas because of distance limitations inherent in the technology and aged condition of the copper plant.
However, the shared nature of cable modems causes performance problems during periods of peak usage. Specifically, because as many as 500 customers may be sharing a single channel, access speeds can slow dramatically when most customers are online and active. In addition, the shared system uses arbitration that gives permission to each subscriber to transmit, resulting in latency and jitter that degrades performance, especially for interactive applications.
Cable operators are now deploying dedicated bandwidth technology that allows them to allocate a specific amount of bandwidth to each customer with no sharing between customers.
In addition to providing bandwidth that is “locked up,” we at Bamboo Telecom can scale the amount of bandwidth for each subscriber 2 Mbps to 300 Mbps. With a dedicated 512Kbps channel, all the video, voice and data needs of a typical household or small business can be provided.
In addition Bamboo Telecom provides special contracts for businesses depending on their particular needs. Contact us and ask for our Business Contract information.
