In this case Colt will get in contact with you, to clarify thedetails.

The tool allows you to search for an access option and price for a circuit with freesearchable A-End and B-End or for a B-End with an existing A-End which is alreadypreconfigured in the system. Mandatory information for the B-End is the country andthe postcode. Further, the search can be more detailed by filling out additionalparameters.

Colt fibre connected and Colt partner connected results will be provided includingSLAs and the standard or customized pricing. The preferred access option can beselected by clicking on the radio button. If you want to email your search result tosomeone you can also select the interface Type and Connector Type manually. Foradditional information, a free hand text can be added.

Colt Lan Link overview

The Colt LANLink portfolio of services enables Customers to interconnect their Ethernetlocal area network (LAN) so that they can operate various company sites as a singleoffice, reducing costs and increasing efficiency. Ethernet is the de facto industry standard protocol within the LAN, and Colt LANLink enables customers to extend Ethernet into metropolitan and wide area networks (MANs and WANs).

The customer can connect LANs within the same city (LANLink Metro), within the samecountry (LANLink National) or between countries (LANLink International). A fourth option, the Colt LANLink Hub and Spoke service, enables the aggregation of LANLink Metro, National and International services onto a single Ethernet interface at a single site

LANLink is a Layer 2 service offering:

• Point-to-point and hub-and-spoke topology options• Speeds from 2Mbps through to 10Gbps• A dedicated service to a single customer• Metro, National and International coverage with Off-Net access available

Colt E-PN overview

Colt Ethernet Private Network (E-PN) provides any-to-any connectivity at the Ethernetlayer. The service is delivered over a star topology, which means that all sites are allowed to communicate to each other without the requirement of additional switching or routing equipment.

The E-PN service is a Layer 2 VPN service with switching functionality implemented inthe Colt network. This allows any Ethernet frame entering the network at one site to beswitched and delivered to any other site, offering:

• Any-to-any switched services• Speeds from 2Mbps through to 1Gbps• A dedicated service to a single customer• Metro, National and International coverage with Off-Net access available

The service uses Ethernet over SDH or native Ethernet technology, ensuringguaranteed levels of performance. All interfaces are fully transparent to Layer 2 protocols.Each network has a resilient switching point that will be installed in a Colt node.

EFM for Lan Link & E-PN (1Mbps-40Mbps)

• EFM = Ethernet in the First Mile – Over 600 sites connected in CH

• A new access technology defined in the IEEE 802.3ah standard for copper (and fibre as well)

• Successor of DSL by using ATM.

• EFM uses a new SDSL standard for 5.7 Mbps(*) per copper line

• EFM can also use 3.1Mbit/s and traditional 2.3Mbit/s per copper line

• EFM provides `line bonding` for combine multiple copper lines into one service/circuit

• Full complience with European standards:

• ETSI-101524 annex E for 5.7 Mbps per copper line

• ITU G.991.2 for 2.3Mbps and Annex D for 3.1Mbps per copper line

(*) = symmetrical bandwidth with same up- and download bandwidth

28

EFM Benefits

Scalability Reliability Performance

•Easier to increase bandwidth. Minimal service interruption

•Wider reach. More sites can be reached

•Customers can use their own VLANs for Ethernet services (VLAN transparency)

•Copper line failure reduces bandwidth but does not cause complete service failure

•Proven technology – Over three years of experience at Colt

•Simplified network. ATM is not required anymore

•Managed end to end

•Lower install and rental cost compared to fibre and OLO

•Symmetrical bandwidths available up to 40Mbps

•Maximum throughput through uncontended bandwidths and optimized line bonding

29

Colt Wholesale VPN

Wholesale VPN is specifically focussed on the requirements of our large Carrier and Reseller Customers and is based on the Colt IP VPN product.

Wholesale VPN (using MPLS Network to Network interconnects - NNI's) now offers the possibility to source complete IP VPN networks rather than individual links. This means that a Customer can benefit from the dense Colt coverage in Western Europe (20 Countries), 39 fibre Metropolitan Area Networks (giving access to over 17.000 connected business buildings) and millions of DSL locations.

The MPLS includes:

• Redundant interconnect at 2 different sites – primary & backup

• Physical interconnection on Ethernet circuit (100M or 1G)

• The Ethernet circuit for the interconnect is included in the offer

• Customer can interconnect at any on-net site

30

Example: MPLS Network NNI Solution

MPLS NODE

• With an MPLS NNI the providers coverage is effectively extended

• Sites in France and the UK communicate with one another in this example via a fully meshed network
