Press Release Summary: The decision to start using fibre routed through London's
sewer system was a result of growing concerns over network outages and security.

Press Release Body: London, United Kingdom, May 16, 2008 - Geo, a leading provider
of dedicated fibre networks today announced that it has been selected by major
Icelandic Telco provider Siminn, to provide them with a dedicated fibre connection
between two London data centres for a 5 year term. This collaboration will enable
Siminn to offer its customers, which include several major Icelandic banks, with
faster and more secure services.


Siminn commissioned Geo to upgrade and replace their existing link between Telehouse
East and Telecity Redbus Meridian Gate with a diverse dedicated fibre connection.
The decision to start using fibre routed through London's sewer system was a result
of growing concerns over network outages and security. The sewers provide a much
safer environment for fibre than traditional trenches as they are less likely to be
interrupted by street digging.


"Due to our growing customer base, we required a high capacity, scaleable solution
on which to run faster technology and eliminate congestion on our network. Geo, who
was highly recommended to us, has helped us fulfil our capacity planning needs for
the near future in a very cost-effective and efficient manner." commented Thor Jes
Thorisson, Chief Technical Officer, Siminn.


Chris Smedley, Chief Executive, Geo added, "We are delighted to be working with
Iceland's leading Telco to help them streamline and future-proof their London
network. Our Geo.Metro proposition can add real value to companies looking for a
reliable presence in London as it has had zero outages reported to date."
