Vancouver BC, January 2, 2003...

WebServe Canada continues its cutting edge leadership in Vancouver by announcing its upgrade to the long awaited high performance fiber optic Internet backbone connection. WebServe's new OC12 is already in place and operational. By configuring its network with the OC12, WebServe has positioned itself well for rapid future growth, enabling them to expand their connectivity to the equivalent of 12 T3 lines or 620 Mb per seconds of bandwidth! Initially upstream bandwidth will be upgraded from 6 Mbps (Mega Bits Per Second) to 45 Mbps! That's an increase of 650%!

This enormous burst in speed at WebServe Canada is made possible by the addition of their new fiber optic line, connected to 360networks¨ Internet backbone. 360networks ¨ Corporation is a global leader in Internet communications and a broadband network services provider with an extensive and technologically advanced fiber optic network.

Fiber optic technology is resetting the standards by which Networking speed is measured, whether on the Internet or within a company's Local Area Network. By transmitting information via pulses of light along a tiny strand of glass, rather than electromagnetically along metal wire as in older systems, tremendous amounts of information can be sent and received simultaneously, literally at the speed of light. Now combine many individual strands of glass into one cable and you've got the capacity to send and receive massive amounts of information in the flicker of an instant.

So, what does all of this mean for you?

Well, if you are a WebServe Canada customer already enjoying one of their high speed hosting Services (Shared, eCommerce, Resellers or Dedicated), you will undoubtedly notice significant increases in speed when accessing you website or email on the Net. Now WebServeÕs Professional Web hosting customers know that their website's pages are not only monitored 24/7 but are being served to the world faster than ever before.
