“Because
of the nature of our business we cannot
suffer much downtime and Towerstream has delivered on their promise to insure that we don't.”

Towerstream is a duplicate system that functions in
case of a system failure.
AT&T and Verizon rely on each other for last mile service throughout the country.
While most networks in the US are built in this way, Towerstream is different. Our
last mile does not rely on legacy phone company infrastructure.
Recent events have demonstrated the lack of redundancy in Verizon and AT&T
networks. For example, during the steam pipe explosion in New York, customers
that have Verizon T1 Internet access and a
T1 backup from AT&T were very surprised that
both connections went down.
