ISP Services

To access the Internet, a connection to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) is required.

An ISP is typically a company that provides access to the World Wide Web and other IP based services such as Email, Domain Name Services (DNS) and public IP Ranges.

8el provides 'always on' connections between customers and Internet Service Providers. Connection speeds range from 64Kbps to 155Mbps and upgrade paths are flexible and can be implemented within 48 hours.

As 8el is not 'tied' to a specific ISP, customers can choose from our list of business partners or backbones, or use an existing service provider.

The benefits of using 8el's network connections are:
