Don’t Be Fooled by the Promise of 10G from Public, Commercial Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

You know the old adage ‘If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is’? 10G promises from from traditional ISPs are all the rage, but institutions of higher education, K-12, healthcare, and local governments demand exceptional connectivity experiences to make their campuses and facilities thrive. Enter Edge – a nonprofit, member-based, nationally-recognized Research and Education Network.

Edge’s optical fiber network, EdgeNet, has been thriving for over 20 years:

  • Supporting 100 percent of member demand 24/7/365
  • Providing concierge-level support
  • Never oversubscribing the network where one member’s traffic competes for bandwidth with another member (unlike commercial ISPs)
  • 80 percent of Edge member’s external traffic is exchanged to be private peering relationships as opposed to traversing the unsecure and best effort public internet

Don’t take our word for it. Our customer testimonials speak for themselves.
