TalkTalk faced with increasing demand in north-west
TalkTalk has purchased data centre space in the north-west in a bid to help it keep up with customer demand for its services.

The home phone and broadband provider said it needs to increase its capacity in the region, as its subscribers are using the company's network to send more data and make a greater number of calls, reports the Manchester Evening News.

As a result, it has acquired 2,000 square feet of data centre space in Manchester from UK Grid, adding to its four existing facilities - half of which are in Birmingham, with the other half in London.

Commenting on the deal, Graham Chisnall from TalkTalk said: "It has been good to work with another north-west-based company, enabling TalkTalk to expand capacity in the region."

Towards the end of August, the telecoms firm announced it was testing its forthcoming mobile broadband proposition on a charity bike ride from Land's End to John O'Groats.

It will launch its new dongles later this year.
