Now we really do go the extra mile

We’re proud to announce that with the launch of Edge 2, our award-winning, high-capacity Ethernet service has increased its coverage of business postcodes by 30%! That means more for your customers and more for you.

In a phased delivery from Q2 2016, we’re adding 34 new Ethernet Points of Presence (PoPs) in areas of high customer demand across the country, like Cheltenham, Bolton, Darlington and Glasgow – reaching a further 58,342 business postcodes. In total Project Edge will now connect over 250,000 postcodes to our state of the art network, improving our service for end users and enhancing the service you provide for your customers.

Give your customers the Edge over their Ethernet competition

We’re retaining all of the flexibility of Edge Plus, but Edge 2 customers will enjoy more coverage, competitive pricing and an even more outstanding service. In fact enterprises in exchange areas will get the best value solution in the UK. And our new PoPs can be found exactly where they’re needed most. Their locations are totally driven by customer demand.

Our network is engineered to the standards of our power stations. Our numerous exchanges are built using the toughest kit available; if a component fails, another is ready to take over. And for extra peace of mind our network is monitored and maintained 24/7, every single day of the year.

This all adds up to the most robust, reliable and cost-effective solution in the UK. And with our user-friendly LIVEQUOTE tool, transition is simple.

What makes a company a GREAT company to work with?

In an industry that has suffered a terrible reputation for its poor customer service stories, with the UK Customer Satisfaction Index reporting a quarter of Telco organisations failed to meeting expectations, Neos Networks strives to be different and buck that trend.

A business is only as strong as its team; that’s why we have taken great care and consideration in hiring the best people to represent Neos Networks to its fullest. By hiring experts from within the telecoms field, especially for our sales team, our customers have a knowledgeable point of contact in the company who knows and more importantly understands the benefits of our products and services.

We believe in the personal touch – from the start of your solution enquiry to the contract signing and beyond, you’ll have one dedicated point of contact that will get to know your company. When someone understands your company, knows how it works, what’s needed and your strategy and plans for the future, we can build a partnership that will support and help you grow as you achieve your goals.

Rob Derbyshire, Operations Manager at Marston’s Telecoms spoke highly of having a single point of contact throughout the quoting, solution-building and purchasing process with us. Even as the solution progressed and different teams were getting involved with the network implementation, Rob continued to be updated by his dedicated account director.

He commented, “The solution was rapidly deployed and Marston’s Telecoms was able to call upon its own dedicated account manager and single point of contact throughout the whole deployment process.” So impressed by Neos Networks’ attitude, Derbyshire has named us as their ‘preferred partner of choice’ for all of their ongoing optical network solutions and Ethernet requirements.

Though we have market clout as being a part of the SSE group – a FTSE32 company with a turnover of £30 billion – Neos Networks enjoys a much lighter and more agile team in comparison to other telecoms giants; we also have the backing of investment of over £4billion from the SSE group. We are able to provide quick network deployment and implementation so customers have new network expansions live far sooner than our peers.

HighNet – a Scottish ISP – has enjoyed 17 per cent growth since first starting its partnership with Neos Networks in 2011 and it continues to delight its customer with its continual high level of customer service today; Neos Networks first helped HighNet to build a private national infrastructure delivering resilient and scalable solutions including connectivity, and disaster recovery services to enterprises across the UK.  With the demand on their newly expanded network increasing at a far quicker rate than expected, they needed to upgrade their service and turned to Neos Networks to once again help them deliver and succeed.

With our agility, flexibility and proven track record of delivering ahead of time, HighNet turned to us again with new requirements; upgrading its core network to 10Gb to meet increased customer demand.

David Alldritt, Technology and Innovation Director at HighNet is exceedingly pleased with the Neos Networks team and its support with HighNet’s recent network upgrade; “The new solution was rapidly provisioned by Neos Networks’ highly skilled and experienced team, who provided a significant amount of support right from the initial deployment stage to the present day. HighNet has benefited from working with the same team from day one and the strong partnership between the two companies has been instrumental in building HighNet’s network from the ground-up.”

Alldritt continued: “Everyone from our account director to the network architect involved in the original deployment is still on-board, which is something of a rarity in the telecoms business!  Not only does this make working together an easier and more enjoyable process, it also ensures that everyone fully understands our business and so are well placed to help us meet our future objectives.”

We love hearing such positive feedback from our customers; it’s what we aim to achieve with all our customers from big national enterprises to small ISPs. We want to give each customer a dedicated approach so we fully understand your needs so we can add value to your network design and help you grow and succeed as your trusted partner.

Jo Cook, Sales Director at Neos Networks, has been instrumental in building a value add sales team, commenting; “To hear such positive feedback from our customers is a fantastic endorsement of the work carried out by the team. It’s great to receive a positive reaction to not just those working on the front line but the whole way through to our solution and provisioning teams as well. We have always strived to set ourselves apart and it’s great to see it being recognised.”

Our customers are part of our team – their accomplishments are our accomplishments and we always want to help people succeed.

Choosing a Data Centre for your business

“There’s more to choosing a data centre than it’s tiering”

It’s easy to become blinded by the tiering claimed by data centre operators, and ignoring the quality of the operations. The latest high-spec equipment can become unreliable if it’s not tested and maintained regularly” said Chris, speaking to an audience of cloud service providers and resellers at the Convergence Summit on 4th October.

Nearly every data centre failure can be traced back to human error rather than design or hardware problems. Individual components are bound to fail sooner or later, and data centre designs take this into account. It’s inattention to detail and ‘finger trouble’ associated with lack of training that brings data centres down.”

Flexibility

Continuing his theme about what makes for a successful partnership between data centre operator and customer, Chris added, “Flexibility is what differentiates a great relationship: a growing service provider doesn’t just need their first rack, they need to know that their data centre provider will help them grow and accommodate them flexibly.”
