• C4L were the UK's first company to provide data back-up in all major UK data centres with no bandwidth costs (as it is done over our network).
• C4L offered the first fixed price 10 Gigabit leased line in central London.

These innovations have enabled C4L to grow 100% year on year. Today C4L has thousands of customers and extensive coverage of co-location and connectivity services across the world with 26 data centres in the UK, 2 in Amsterdam and 1 in New York.
