In 1994, Internet Colorado (ICO) began by offering 14.4 dialup and a 56 Kbps Frame-Relay connections to the World Wide Web. Since then, Internet Colorado has evolved into a complete Internet service provider offering wireless LANs, DSL, full and fractional T-1 lines, and IP Telephony and VoIP services.

Internet Colorado’s backbone is comprised of Point-to-Point Fiber Optic OC-3, connected to Internap. Via Internap, ICO offers customers high performance IP services and Internet-based solutions that utilize all major domestic IP backbones. Internap’s patented route management technology and industry-leading service level guarantees Internet Colorado’s QoS (quality of service) providing ICO customers 100 percent Internet availability, bypassing congestion points and avoiding difficulties that plague conventional Internet backbone providers.

Our OC-3 backbone is 100 percent fiber Optic ATM Transport. ATM transmits only fixed-size frames, called cells, not variable-size frames as packet switching does. The result is, cell switching performs significantly faster than ordinary packet switching. With our backbone you will not have 64-byte frames or fragmented 64-byte frames traversing the backbone, you'll have fixed 53-byte cells. More important is the fixed-sized cells support quantified QOS which in turn allows us to handle sensitive traffic, such as voice and videoconferencing to name a few, which is not easy for standard packet switching networks. Internet Colorado is committed to bringing you the fastest, most reliable and secure connections available in the state of Colorado, and across the entire United States.
