Ethernet Private Line service also provides an effective means of connectivity for other value-added services, including Internet access and LAN extension, Data back-up and Video applications. Ethernet Private Line is useful for an enterprise with many branch locations around a central metro office as well as connections with suppliers or partners. Much like Frame Relay does today, Ethernet Private lines can be used to connect branch offices back to the central hub for connectivity to the wide area, or the Internet, at significantly higher levels of performance.

Not only can an Ethernet Private Line service provide much higher bandwidth than a traditional Frame Relay/ATM or leased line service, it also delivers much greater flexibility and granularity. Additionally, with simplified provisioning made possible by Ethernet, increasing or decreasing bandwidth now takes days instead of months, therefore enabling services to be delivered to the customer more effectively. Just as with traditional Frame Relay services, Ethernet Private Line service can support specific and well defined service level agreements. There is a guaranteed level of service between the multi points of the Ethernet Private Line service as well other service parameters that are defined as part of the SLA including restoration times, end-to-end latency across TWC's network and packet delivery.

The ELINE service provides flexible bandwidth beginning at 50Mbps and can scale up to GIG-E speeds.
