ApplianSys is pleased to announce that Botswana ISP, OPQ Net, has purchased a CACHEBOX solution to ensure faster web browsing for its customers.

The ISP provisions internet services for around 400 concurrent users via a 200 Mbps link. IT Director at OPQ Net, Chris Premeji, was concerned about customer satisfaction:.

“We aim to offer superior internet services at reasonable prices. However, more and more of our clients try to access large files, like videos. This affects average page load times introducing around 200ms of delay.”

“Bandwidth in Botswana can cost as much as several thousand USD dollars per 1GB per month,” comments CACHEBOX Sales Executive, Vasco Homem de Figueiredo. “Caching is a great solution for ISPs operating in countries with such high bandwidth prices.”

Having looked at other products, OPQ Net decided that the CACHEBOX230 was a good fit for its requirements and more affordable than alternatives.

With CACHEBOX in place, the service provider can continue offering a high quality of service without compromising on price.
