DarkLight is the single most advanced Internet connectivity option available today. Using an advanced dark fibre network, DarkLight delivers ultrafast Internet speeds at an incredibly low price point, making world-class connectivity (and the benefits it brings) more accessible for local businesses, organisations and schools across a growing number of DarkLight cities like Bradford, Leeds and more.
Designed with unmatched flexibility in mind, DarkLight is an ideal choice for any organisation interested in ultrafast Internet, with future-proof plans letting users update their speeds at practically any point, along with a host of advanced features built to support users.
In the video attached to this page, Kala Sangam's Steve O'Connell explains why the centre decided to invest in DarkLight for their Internet connection (it's not just because we're based down the road), and how it's been helping the centre over the last year.
There's a number of major reasons why Kala Sangam chose DarkLight. First and foremost, there's the question of reliability. Organisations like Kala Sangam need their Internet connections to be reliable at all times - a connection dropping in the middle of a trade event can mean that the organisers will look for another venue next time, for example. With DarkLight connections coming with a full 99.9% SLA, we've been able to completely remove the day-to-day problems Kala Sangam reported experiencing before.
Beyond that, it's important to understand that Internet usage is still growing. Over the coming years, visitors to Kala Sangam will rely even more heavily on Internet connectivity, with live streaming and Cloud storage being particularly clear growth points. As such, the fact that DarkLight lets users upgrade their connectivity may come in handy - while the team at Kala Sangam are happy with their current speeds, they'll be able to upgrade them if they ever need a better connection, with every DarkLight line currently able to support a fully symmetrical, world-class 10 Gbps connection speed.
