PROVO, Utah — May 1, 2014 — FirstDigital, Utah’s leading provider of enterprise-grade Internet and phone services, today announced the June 30 completion of a 10 gigabit fiber-optic network for business users in Provo City.
“The arrival of Google Fiber’s 1 gigabit network has been a win for residents of Provo, and now FirstDigital is pleased to offer 10 gigabit Internet service to the business community,” said FirstDigital CEO Drew Peterson. “As our users go live with 10 gigabit speeds straight into their offices, they will experience the Internet in a way that has simply been impossible to comprehend up until now.”
FirstDigital’s new fiber-optic network will offer 10 gigabit speeds with unthrottled and unshared capacity to each business customer, virtually eliminating load times and delays across every Internet-based service, from video streaming to SaaS applications. Additionally, FirstDigital will provide commercial users with a dedicated IP address, double network redundancy and a 99.99% uptime guarantee—backed in writing for every customer by a service level agreement.
“This quantum leap in speed and reliability will provide competitive advantage to Provo businesses by harnessing all the power of the Internet, unfettered by wait times or down time,” Peterson said. “Our tremendous capacity, combined with the technology we employ in delivering it, will future-proof users against the need for costly equipment upgrades down the road as their demands for bandwidth increase.”
FirstDigital currently serves more than 700 Provo business customers, including Provo City, Nu Skin and Brigham Young University, and will move those existing customers to the new network at no additional charge for service. Across all its service offerings, FirstDigital also serves 48 of the 100 fastest-growing companies in Utah.
