Early Adopters

Early adopters of the network include:

• N2 Check, which required connectivity inside 24 hours (which was achieved by Manchester Metronet) to support Voice Over IP (VOIP) communications for an entire office. N2 Check provides credit check and company report information.
   
• Harvest Housing, a group of housing associations, which realised a need to upgrade its high speed Internet access circuit from 1Mbps only to discover that Metronet was able to supply a 10Mbps at a fraction of the price of a BT LES 10 service.
   
• Kelvin Graphics, a design and marketing company, that relies upon Metronet to exchange very large files with its customers via email and FTP.
   
• Having been let down by the incumbent provider when moving offices, One Day Mobile took delivery of a Metronet private circuit within 24 hours of order, upon which it now depends to support all of its web-based business transactions.
   
• Internet and Telco service provider, Comgate has a 15Mbps high speed Internet access service from Metronet which it uses to support the Company’s mission critical VOIP Gateway service.
   
• Radisson SAS Hotel (Manchester Airport) that uses Metronet to provide Wi-Fi Internet access for its guests, corporate communications, video conferencing.
  
  
• Workspace Innovation that uses Metronet to provide high speed Internet access services to up to 50 business tenants at its Broadstone Mill business accommodation centre in Stockport.



• The Opal Property Group uses a number of Metronet point-to-point private circuits to provide inter-branch connectivity to its central Manchester headquarters.
