NTL-Telewest Business (yes that is correct) have announced that it has now fully integrated its two main networks.

Speaking on the first anniversary of the combined company, managing director Stephen Beynon said work to being together the two main networks had now finished and this allowed the company to offer businesses an alternative to BT.

The network covers 85 percent of businesses with most of it's connections outside of the 'M25 ring' which they claim is unlike most of it's competitors apart from BT.

He said that so far the company had invested £13bn on it's network and gained £657m of revenue, with half of that coming from IP based sales, up 150% from last year.
Also he gave the reason why the company didn't rename itself to Virgin Media as the rest of the group did earlier this year, "We didn't want to get drowned in the noise" he said.
