LITTLETON, Colo. -- tw telecom inc., (TWTC) a leading national provider of managed services, including Business Ethernet, converged and IP VPN solutions for enterprises throughout the U.S. and globally, today introduced its metro 40 Gig and 100 Gig Business Ethernet services in its 75 metro serving areas. The faster speeds complement its current 2.5 Gig and 10 Gig intra-market Ethernet services.

"The addition of these faster speeds will enable enterprises to more efficiently and effectively connect headquarters, remote offices and data center locations across the metro for a variety of Big Data applications," said Graham Taylor, Senior Vice President for Marketing at tw telecom.
