Web Hosting News – ATLANTA — Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a global provider of end-to-end Internet business solutions, announced today its IP network and data center colocation services are being used by UK-based Sharedband to expand its operations and offer its innovative network solution in the US, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sharedband Technologies.

Until now, high-speed broadband Internet service was not available for millions of homes and businesses due to geographic limitations of carrier infrastructure. Sharedband solves this ‘last mile’ problem by aggregating local bandwidth connections. Applications such as VoIP, video conferencing and software as a service (SaaS) place greater demands on the local loops used to connect to the Internet. Enhanced broadband services such as ADSL2+ and SDSL also suffer from the ‘distance-to-central office’ problem, and are available from a limited number of central offices. Sharedband solves this problem. Sharedband also resolves the issue of upstream-delivery speed. Most Internet services are engineered to provide significantly lower bandwidth for sending files than for downloading files — consequently resulting in the slower upstream time.
