Time Warner Telecom Playing Good Host to AIT

Time Warner Telecom, a leading provider of managed voice and data networking solutions for businesses in North Carolina and 21 other states, today announced the successful installation of integrated services to deliver voice and data for Advanced Internet Technologies Inc. (AIT) of Fayetteville, a web-hosting and e-commerce firm. The 2-year contract was awarded to Time Warner Telecom after a competitive bid process.

Time Warner Telecom is delivering 65 Mbps Internet access, ISDN PRI links and DS-3 transport services to AIT's two Fayetteville facilities. These services support the company's web hosting, customer dialup and administrative office voice needs.

"We selected Time Warner Telecom's Internet service because they were the only provider who could cost-effectively deliver highly available fiber services," said Ian Thieme, chief network officer for AIT Inc. "That's a key element in our service delivery to customers who expect round-the-clock access to their websites. Another benefit is that they can provision services much faster than other providers we've used."

"Our highly reliable Internet access services help AIT, and other businesses, reduce customer churn because these services are delivered over our own high-performance, diverse networks," said Scott Larsen, vice president and general manager for Time Warner Telecom in Fayetteville. "This capability also enables customers to add economical bandwidth more quickly than they can from other providers."
