Great Basin Internet Services' Full Gigabit Connection is Industry Leader

Great Basin Internet Services, Inc. (GBIS) announced today that they have upgraded their backbone connection to the Internet to a full Gigabit, making them the industry leader in available connectivity in Northern Nevada. As online usage continues to rise with the advent of streaming and web based applications, this connection will allow GBIS to continue to meet the needs of business customers in real time.

“With previous connections to the backbone, it could often take as much as 120 days to increase bandwidth to meet the needs of customer growth,” said Andrew Wolf, Great Basin Internet Services Vice President of Operations. “Now, with a full Gigibit link to the Internet, we have the bandwidth to serve today’s customers, as well as meet the needs for extensive future growth without any delays. And with economies of scale, this bandwidth will be available at extremely competitive prices.”

To provide a practical comparison, a standard T1connection provides a speed of 1.5 Megabits per second, while a Gigabit connection provides 1000 Megabits per second. So, a Gigabit connection is 666.66 times faster than a T1 connection.

Great Basin Internet Services is Nevada’s leading independent provider of Internet, voice and data, providing integrated business solutions for DSL, collocation, VoIP, Metro Ethernet & wireless broadband services as well as residential broadband and dial-up solutions.
