UKFast boosts Manchester connectivity with Metronet (UK)

Manchester-based cloud and colocation hosting specialist UKFast has signed top wireless technology provider, Metronet (UK).

Metronet (UK) specialises in providing wired and wireless technology to extend the power of dedicated leased line connectivity beyond the reach of traditional fibre. The technology delivers services 10x faster than traditional fibre and copper-based solutions.


Providing the top service level agreements and customer support in its field, Metronet (UK) shares UKFast’s obsession with speed and customer care.


UKFast will house 24 racks for the business, in its MANOC 4 data centre, part of Manchester’s most powerful fully-owned and managed data centre complex. Working with UKFast will help Metronet grow its network and, ultimately, its business.


UKFast CEO Lawrence Jones said: “I’m passionate about boosting speed, innovation and connectivity in the North West, and working with clients who share that passion is what drives me every day.


“Building our clients’ businesses and helping them to grow is the core objective of UKFast, and I’m excited to help Metronet (UK) expand its network and push Manchester forward as the next UK digital hub.”
