Friday, September 3rd, 2010 - The evolution of metro ethernet is complete.  IP broadband signals carried over a fiber optic cable are reshaping the way businesses work.  With metro ethernet, the name of the service that carries IP signals over fiber, businesses are able to transmit data over the internet - or private network - at speeds of up to 40 GB per second. Even better, the entry point for businesses to get in on this new technology can be as low as 10 MB, all for under $1000. The great feature of IP broadband over fiber is that is it truly scalable.  The only limitation to how much a company can scale is the router it uses to connect to the carrier's IP backbone.
