Testimonial

The prompt response to my email was polite and informative. The integration of my existing systems was given full support by the professional staff. My questions were not only answered quickly, they were answered fully without me needing to request any clarification on any of the points. Rarely have I found such high levels of technical support.
Over the last year I have come to find time and time again that I can rely on Design R to respond to my needs as a web-designer in a tone that is both useful and friendly. I can honestly say that the support I have had from Design R has been invaluable.

AS29527 is Othello Technology's fully resilient multi-homed network.

With our combination of technical experience, the latest technologies, and the highest quality network hardware, Othello Technology has created one of the most reliable networks in the world, delivering the speed and reliability our customers demand.

Now with our recent service expansion to the US and NL, AS29527 has become a multihomed, fully redundant international provider.

History

Othello Technology started in 1996 as an ISP with a single connection to the Internet via one provider. As we grew, instead of simply buying more bandwidth from our provider as most of our competitors have done, we gained our ASN (Autonomous Systems Number) 29527 and started to add additional Tier 1 transits and created our extensive peering network.

External Connections

Othello Technology interconnect with the following ISPs for full internet connectivity at our various PoPs;

DataHop (AS6908)
Aexiomus (AS6770)
Level3 (AS3356)
KPN (AS286)
EuroAccess (AS34305)
Net Access Corp (AS8001)
Abovenet/MFN (AS3356)

Peering Connections

Built on top of this firm foundation Othello Technology also directly interconnect with over 400 UK/EU ISPs by connecting to the following Internet Exchanges;

LINX - 291 Peers
LIPEX - 88 Peers
RBIEX - 15 Peers
UK6X - 22 Peers
Private - 5 Peers

And we supplement our Peering with additional partial transit covering the following IXs;

ExchangePoint
LoNAP
AMSIX
DECIX
FreeIX

IP and Routing Technologies

Layer2 Switching fabric is 100% Cisco providing speed and reliability.
Layer3 Routers are custom buily and utilise OSPF and BGP dynamic routing to ensure 100% connectivity.
