This Collaboration Will Provide Customers
with More High-Quality, Cost-Effective Connectivity Options
NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the global data and IP
services arm of Fortune Global 500 telecom leader NTT (NYSE: NTT),
and TalkTalk Business, a leading provider of broadband and phone
services, announced today that both companies are teaming up to
expand and improve broadband access services in the United Kingdom.
The two providers will leverage complementary strengths in
wholesale IP transit and access lines to expand the coverage of
their networks and further enhance the service experience for their
customers.
“We are excited to work with TalkTalk Business and provide
cost-effective IP connectivity to Points-of- Presence (PoP) in our
Tier-1 Global IP Network,” said Clive Hamilton, vice president of
Network Services – EMEA at NTT Europe. “NTT Com offers the
technical capabilities and reach required to support TalkTalk
Business’ growing portfolio of services,” Mr. Hamilton continued.
“NTT Com is a trusted partner that can quickly respond to growth in
its customers’ demand for high performance wholesale IP capacity
without compromising quality.”
Under the agreement, TalkTalk Business will provide NTT Com with
high-capacity access lines. “We believe this working relationship
with NTT Com will reflect positively on all parties involved,” said
Duncan Gooding, Director of Enterprise and Direct Sales at TalkTalk
Business. “Due to the size and reach of our network we can deliver
a market-leading range of products and services and real business
value, enabling customers to adopt the very latest solutions
confidently and reliably,” Mr Gooding added.
A December 2015 report from Ofcom, the independent regulator and
competition authority for UK communications, stated that 78% of the
UK's households have an internet connection of some sort. According
to Choose, a consumer information site, the vast majority of these
households - almost 90% - get online through one of four big UK
ISPs, TalkTalk being one of them. This collaboration with NTT Com
will better position TalkTalk Business to meet and exceeds its
customers’ expectations in this very highly competitive market.
