What kind of connection does Hostway have to the Internet backbone?
Three separate carriers connect Hostway in the UK. Our primary connection is backed by OC2 (100 Mbit) with Easynet, who operate one of the largest European backbones. A second connection, peered through BGP4, allows no single point of carrier failure and is provided by Cable & Wireless through a DS3 (45Mbit) connection. A third fail-over connection is provided by Global Crossing at throttled DS3 (34Mbit).
