More Than a Service

With so many telecommunications companies offering an abundance of Internet services, how do you know which one's right for you? That's the question that businesses big and small face everyday. For elite organizations with high expectations such as The Quilt (www.thequilt.net), the answer is Time Warner Telecom.

A coalition of advanced regional network organizations, The Quilt provides a dynamic forum where leaders from advanced research and educational communities build on the best practices of network service providers worldwide. Technology is crucial to its mission in that The Quilt aims to influence the national agenda on information technology infrastructure, with particular emphasis on networking. Through this coalition, The Quilt promotes delivering networking services at lower costs, higher performances and greater levels of reliability and security.

Representing some of the premier educational institutions in the country, The Quilt required a provider that went beyond simply delivering an Internet connection. The organization needed Time Warner Telecom because of our ability to help them better manage their business.

"The Quilt serves more than 100 participants, whose aggregated bandwidth requirements for Internet service are expected to grow to more than 24 Gbps by the end of 2006," said Hud Croasdale, executive director of The Quilt. "Time Warner Telecom's advanced, high-performance networking solutions will provide the speed and capacity The Quilt's member institutions require for transferring large amounts of data quickly and reliably."

Time Warner Telecom's advanced backbone readily supported The Quilt's capacity requirements, enabling the organization to breathe easy knowing it's met the demand for local connectivity. Selecting from Time Warner Telecoms Internet solutions that scale from 1.5 -10 Gbps, The Quilt also reaps the benefits of tools that helps it better manage its business.

For example, Time Warner Telecom's BGP Blackholing feature enables The Quilt to proactively self-mitigate denial of service attacks. And what company isn't concerned with the potential costs associated with security issues? In addition, bandwidth utilization reports and regional route services enable the group to manage their Internet routes to best serve their needs.

While Time Warner Telecom is the ideal choice for organizations the size of The Quilt, we're also right on target for businesses on other scales. Companies just need to answer two questions to know we're the right fit — first, do you want high-quality, reliable Internet service? And second, do you want a provider that delivers equally well when it comes to customer service? If so, then Time Warner Telecom should be your choice.
