GTM customer ezine: Still going strong after ten years

Recently when we sent the 40th issue of the GTM customer ezine to you, our customers and friends, we celebrated ten years of continuous production and success. Our idea was and is to provide regular communication with as many of you as possible and to keep you up to date on our strategy, news and propositions. 

Managing editor Marti Demetrion of GTM marketing still has the first issue – and all the ones since – in her email files.  Unfortunately, Outlook doesn’t know how to do anything but store a ten-year-old message so she can’t get it out and share it.   She did manage to read it, and to get an image of an early issue so you can see what it looked like.

BT unveils world’s fastest working high-speed broadband service

DC12-333                                  22 Nov, 2012

BT has launched the first-ever trial of a 10Gbps or ‘hyper-fast’ broadband network in a live working environment.

Cornwall based engineering firm Arcol UK Ltd, is the test site for deployment of the new technology where the service runs in tandem with the company’s existing 330Mbps service on the same fibre.

The proof of concept trial uses new fibre technology called XGPON (Tens of Gibabits on a Passive Optical Network) developed by electronics company ZTE, in partnership with Openreach.

Arcol is connected by a direct fibre link from its offices to BT’s exchange in Truro, and is the first business in the country to enjoy the record-breaking speeds, with more bandwidth available than was used at the highest peak for the entire Olympics media network. [Read more...]
