LONDON, April 8 /PRNewswire/ --     AboveNet Communications UK Ltd., a leading provider of fibre optic
connectivity solutions for business and carriers and a subsidiary of AboveNet
Inc., today announced it will be provisioning fibre connectivity to
TelecityGroup's new state-of-the-art datacentre facility, Powergate, located

With its network reach already connected to the majority of

migration and expansion to Powergate. This in turn provides AboveNet
customers another on-net location where their services can be delivered.

AboveNet's diverse connectivity to the new facility will enable

a range of managed wavelength services. TelecityGroup Powergate will offer
businesses a highly resilient, secure and scalable datacentre environment
with access to multiple connectivity options.

With growth in data volumes and the increase in regulatory driven
solutions for disaster recovery and business continuity, businesses are
placing greater importance on the reliability, performance and efficiencies
of the supporting datacentre and network. The combination of TelecityGroup's
ideally situated state-of-the-art datacentre and AboveNet's fibre and network
service expertise will enable businesses to benefit from both extensive
hosting and connectivity options.

"With our commitment to staying ahead of industry trends and
investing in the future of our network, we are extremely pleased to be
expanding our fibre network reach to London's newest datacentre,
TelecityGroup's Powergate," said AboveNet's sales director, Alan Berryman.
"This connectivity serves to highlight AboveNet's commitment to offering our
customers the most comprehensive range of networking solutions to support
current and future business requirements."

Adriaan Oosthoek, UK and Ireland managing director at

exchange and delivery of online content for enterprise and consumer
applications. Powergate, which offers 4kW customer power per rack as
standard, has been designed and built to support the mission-critical,
content-intensive server infrastructure of organisations that require a
highly resilient and secure datacentre environment and access to extensive
connectivity options including LINX. We are delighted that AboveNet has
