CU*NextNET allows for the maximum application performance possible at your particular connection speed. VelocityXPRESS is the end result (the cake, if you will) assembled by our network engineers from available ingredients.

Get all you paid for

We start with full connection speed (port speed). This is important because with traditional frame relay you are not always guaranteed full speed connections. The phone companies call this "CIR" or Committed Information Rate. CIR is typically a fraction of your full port speed - usually one quarter of full speed. CIR exists to keep the phone company's networks from being overloaded with traffic at peak times. For instance, if you have a 128 Kbps connection to CU*Answers, your CIR is likely just 32 Kbps. That's all the phone company is on the hook to guarantee to your business. If their network is over crowded and you're using 100 Kbps of that connection, they will start dropping your traffic. CU*NextNET is different. When you order a 128 Kbps connection that's what you get - no CIR.

Guarantying the Quality

Networks are getting more complex and so are the services we're delivering to you. The network needs to support these various applications and types of traffic and ensure critical traffic is prioritized when necessary to deliver the best possible user experience. CU*NextNET is ideal because our network engineers will deploy custom four-level quality-of-service traffic priorities for all your applications which are supported through the entire wide area network (WAN): from our door to yours.
