Delivers lower latency connections to subscribers as a result of peering points between the two providers.

ServerPoint, a provider of shared, reseller, colocated, dedicated and VPS hosting solutions, today announced the addition of Integra Telecom as a backbone provider on its network. In adding Integra Telecom, the company states that it is able to deliver lower latency connections to subscribers of Comcast, as a result of peering points between the two providers. Integra Telecom also eliminates network hops for a variety of other ISPs in North America and abroad, it adds. ServerPoint claims that it will continue to add new providers in the coming months as it seeks additional redundancy and bandwidth capacity.

"In the last year alone we have seen the bandwidth needs of our clients grow almost exponentially, especially with the rapid proliferation of SaaS and streaming multimedia content. It has become more important than ever to boast a fully redundant network that can not only deliver faster speeds to more ISPs, but that can also absorb traffic spikes that have become ever more common," said ServerPoint CTO Erik Johnson.
