Our Client
Berwick Post Ltd is an independent boutique Post Production facility, based in Soho, the centre of London’s creative hub. They work with a wide range of clients from advertising agencies to production companies and broadcasters. Their prestigious clients include the BBC and international brands from Habitat and Iceland to Emporio Armani.
Quicker, Faster, Superior
Throughout the post production process their clients expect to be able to view snapshots and approve the work at a number of milestones during a project, resulting in many large files being transferred electronically. This makes a fast reliable network an essential business requirement in order to meet their client’s expectations and continue to work efficiently.

Our Solution
M247 Ethernet leased line
Berwick Post turned to M247 in 2015 to ensure their connectivity met their increasing needs. “We previously had an ADSL line running down copper cables and this would drop out ten times a day, particularly at peak times. It was also much slower to upload information than download it. That all changed with the Ethernet leased line from M247. Their Dark Fibre network gives us speeds of 100Mbps whether we are uploading or downloading information 24/7. We can get a 30 second commercial to a client in about 3 seconds it’s that fast. M247 have local engineers in London, but we haven’t needed them as the network is rock solid and has never gone down,” reports Steve.
Dark fibre network
Delivering high speed communications to London’s businesses is the forte of M247. M247 has established itself as a leading provider of fast fibre internet connections, facilitating reliable, cost-effective data communications for London businesses.
M247 is London’s premier fibre network and they have connected over 1,000 London businesses providing ultrafast data transfer at a third of the prices other internet companies provide. M247’s backbone network allows them to connect businesses from all over London and the UK with cable direct to their premises, so they can get the connectivity speeds they need.
As media changes at a rapid rate post production houses must respond to those changing formats to compete. The Dark Fibre network can deliver connectivity to support those changes as the network continually gets faster with speeds now beyond 10Gbps.
“These are data intensive projects, particularly when working in virtual reality which is being driven by the games market at present. Augmented reality offers innovative applications in the retail environment, to enhance shopping experiences, and has great potential in education and work based training. The need to transfer data at increasingly high speeds will continue to intensify as everyone has expectations for more and more visual content. In our industry high speed cost effective reliable connectivity is now an essential business tool,”
