[ Evoke ] Netcologne Gigabit Internet at Evoke

In recent years Evoke has had issues with scaling the bandwidth for our Internet connection; the venue has only been able to deliver a single 2 Mbit/s connection. Luckily, we've been getting help from Viprinet, who has been able to combine all available LTE networks into single faster one, giving us a way better internet connection so far. If it hadn't been for their help, all Evoke visitors would have had to share the same 2 Mbit/s connection!

But this year the Evoke location, AbenteuerhallenKalk, has finally been connected to Netcologne's fiber network, providing us with a much faster connection. But the good news don't stop here... Netcologne has also stepped up as a sponsor, and has decided to splice in a few additional fiber cables, and bumping Evoke's internet connection up to a massive 1 Gbit/s!

So this year we will hook up that 1 Gigabit to the Viprinet setup for extra redundancy.

 

To make a long story short: Everyone should be excited about that extra bandwidth that we got through being hooked up to Netcologne's Corporate/Giga network.

Thanks a lot Netcologne.
