GLASGOW -- THUS plc, one of the UK's leading providers of voice, data, Internet and contact centre services, today launched one of the UK's first private access DSL (PaDSL) services. THUS PaDSL is a cost-effective alternative to traditional frame relay, leased line and ISDN WAN networks and a complementary service to THUS Ethernet and fibre-based MPLS networks. THUS PaDSL enables organisations to exploit the cost savings offered by DSL for wide area networks (WANs), virtual private networks (VPNs), voice over DSL, video streaming and EPOS traffic, without the inherent quality of service and security risks of using the public Internet.

THUS will market PaDSL directly to organisations and will also offer it as a wholesale product to ISPs. THUS PaDSL is available to customers based within 3.5km of any ADSL enabled exchanges across the UK*. PaDSL is provisioned at both 5:1 and 1:1 controlled contention ratios and is available at up and downstream bandwidths of 512/256k and 2Mb/256k.

"DSL is no longer just a high bandwidth Internet connection," said Phil Male, Chief Operating Officer, THUS Plc. "ISPs or organisations that want to use DSL as an access technology for secure and resilient WANs or VPNs without the inherent risk of using the public Internet now have the answer in PaDSL."
