Press Release Summary: Geo's high speed optical fibre network in London provides a
number of key benefits to its customers

Press Release Body: London, United Kingdom, 6 August, 2008 - Geo, a leading provider
of bespoke fibre networks, today announced a refresh of their Geo.Metro product
portfolio which includes the launch of Geo.ONE PLUS (1Gbit/s plus), Geo.TEN
(10Gbit/s) and Geo.TEN PLUS (2 x 10Gbit/s), all scalable Managed Network Service
solutions for businesses in London. The company is the only network provider to have
deployed optical fibre via the Thames Water sewer system. Geo's high speed solution
has been designed for medium to large sized organisations that require a secure and
reliable network to connect multiple sites across the capital. Geo also offers
dedicated fibre for customers who prefer to manage and own their own network
infrastructure.


Geo.ONE PLUS delivers a simple and easy-to-manage solution over dedicated fibre and
offers an incremental upgrade path allowing customers to easily scale up as their
needs change. Interfaces supported include: Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, HD-SDI.


In addition, the Geo.TEN Managed Network Service provides a stepping stone for
customers planning to manage their own network. The 10Gb/s service supports
Ethernet, Fibre Channel or STM-64 interfaces. Upgrading to Geo.TEN PLUS provides
customers an additional 10Gb/s allowing businesses to increase bandwidth with ease.


Geo's high speed optical fibre network in London provides a number of key benefits
to its customers. Based solely on dedicated fibre and running through the capital's
sewer system, the solution is exceptionally secure and less susceptible to outages
caused by road works. As businesses often require lower latency solutions, Geo's
dedicated fibre provides minimal end-to-end latency, making it ideal to support
media rich applications and critical financial trading platforms to provide its
clients a leading edge in an increasingly competitive marketplace.


"A network for London needs to be robust, flexible enough to meet today's business
needs, guarantee bandwidth and provide room for growth," says Chris Smedley, Chief
Executive, Geo. "Our SLAs assure clients of the highest possible level of support
and to back it all up, we provide round the clock customer service. To date, Geo has
never had a fibre cut in London and has the lowest network fault rate of any UK
operator. We understand that businesses value the peace of mind that comes from
knowing that their communications networks are able to cope with future demand."
