Direct Internet Access explained

  • Direct Internet Access (DIA) is premium internet service which provides secure, reliable and high-speed internet connectivity for your business.

    Unlike shared internet connections, where multiple users share the same bandwidth, DIA offers a dedicated connection with minimal latency and guaranteed performance.

  • On Demand combines Colt’s extensive IP peering with the flexibility and scalability enabled by software defined networking (SDN) automation. Benefit from real-time service provisioning, modify, schedule & scale your bandwidth and commitments in real time and choose from long-term fixed contractors, or per hour billing with no commitment.

  • Design your ideal dedicated internet access by cherry picking from managed CPE and multiple IP address options; IPV6, workforce mobility, usage based billing, domain hosting and security like DDoS protection.

  • IP Guardian will automatically filter DDoS attacks within seconds and without the necessity for human intervention, rerouting or tunnelling. IP Guardian can protect all Colt DIA users regardless of the type or number of IP addresses used.

  • Colt Cloud Prioritisation is a feature now available for all new and existing Colt Direct Internet Access customers. It provides guaranteed performance for Microsoft Office 365 services via the public Internet.

    Microsoft traffic can be prioritised over standard Internet traffic on the customers router and the Colt Edge Router. The service also features a high performance direct peering infrastructure between Colt and Microsoft in 21 cities across Europe and Asia.
