News: Industrial Personnel Ltd break speed record

By

Rotherham recruitment agency, Industrial Personnel Ltd has entered the Digital Region and now have the UK's fastest broadband connection with a download speed of 66Mbps.

The connection was provided by Digital Exchange Ltd in partnership with DRBSY Ltd. It makes use of the revolutionary new South Yorkshire fibre optic network, a unique collaboration between Yorkshire Forward and the four local authorities in South Yorkshire.

Phillip Buckley, managing director of Industrial Personnel Ltd said: "Like most businesses we are heavily reliant upon the internet to operate. Whether it's email, accessing recruitment websites or online banking we need to have access at all times. We have been using a standard broadband connection for the past couple of years but we were only getting a speed of around 3Mb.

"Now we have a high speed internet connection that is not only cost effective, but will allow us to grow our business in ways we couldn't have before. We are already looking at the possibility of video interviewing candidates via Skype or Microsoft Messenger as a way of streamlining the recruitment process."

Neville Wilkinson, Technical Director of Digital Exchange said: "We have been rolling out DRBSY VDSL connections for a couple of months now with an average connection speed of 35Mbps.

"We always run a speed test in front of the client to demonstrate the dramatic increase in performance in comparison to their old connection. We were expecting a very quick connection with Industrial Personnel Ltd due to their proximity to the street cabinet. When we saw the test results, even we were a little surprised to see such high figures!

"This level of connectivity at this level of price is simply unmatched anywhere else in the UK, giving South Yorkshire businesses a real competitive advantage."

George Taylor, CEO DRBSY Ltd added: "This is an excellent illustration of the unique capability we have in South Yorkshire, DRBSY are extremely happy to confidently say we have the fastest broadband in the region!

"People are now starting to realise that this new ultra fast service is not a pipe dream, Digital Exchange are delivering living proof by bringing on new connections daily."

DRBSY Ltd secured 46,000 sq ft of colocation at the South Yorkshire data centre in Manvers as it signed up to be a provider for the Digital Region. The project is financed by European, regional, local and private investment of over £90 million, including £30 million from the European Regional Development Fund.
