Metro IP, The DS3 TERMINATOR
How to Get More Bandwidth for Less Cost

AboveNet's Metro IP can eliminate your Internet Access problems. Well, at least kill your slow DS3 connections while making a serious dent in your monthly costs.

Choose Metro IP for highly efficient but simple Ethernet connectivity and avoid the typical "last mile" bottleneck of the local loop by eliminating dependence on outdated local loop architectures.  Providing secure, private access to the Internet, Metro IP allows companies to avoid outdated bandwidth-limited solutions such as SONET, a service that lacks the future-proof scalability of Ethernet.
