As we say goodbye officially to 2012, New York Real Estate Journal, in its annual "Year in Review" spotlight issue pays homage to tw telecom in Manhattan. Robert Bianco, tw telecom's NYC Vice President/ General Manager, describes his and his company's greatest professional achievement of the year:
"2012 has been an extremely eventful year for New York City. Superstorm Sandy, though extremely devastating, truly displayed tw telecom's ability to 'weather the storm.' While every service provider was impacted, tw telecom customers were minimally affected as a result of preparation in advance of the storm; the resiliency of our all-fiber, Business Ethernet network; and the collaboration of our local teams with building managers of properties where our fiber network connects to their buildings." -Robert Bianco, Vice President/ General Manager tw telecom NYC
In hindsight, tw telecom expertly and obligingly handled the “before, during, and after” scenarios with regards to Sandy. The company has an incredible success story that many people and companies in NYC can attest to – starting with the fact that it was one of the only networks up and running when the majority of the city was down. As other service providers realized that their infrastructure was not able to withstand the effects of Sandy, tw telecom’s reliable network was able to stay fully functional. As a result, employees worked diligently around the clock to design, facilitate, and implement solutions for those customers in need of communication services. These new customers were a top priority and tw telecom worked hard to expedite these orders so businesses could be back up and running within mere days.
As we so very closely approach 2013, tw telecom predicts that as businesses process the lessons from Superstorm Sandy, the top priority in many new tenants minds will most certainly be the technology that is housed in their building. Many businesses in Downtown Manhattan are still without any phone or Internet services, resulting in layoffs and lost revenue. If a commercial building is to attract more tenants and continue to fill occupancy, the technology within their building must be reliable and dependable. tw telecom delivers technological solutions that are faster, better and easier.
tw telecom is all about serving people who manage, operate and run important businesses in New York City. Its mission is people working with people to change the way businesses connect and communicate; about being closer to the customer. tw telecom's hope is for 2013 to be a very safe, and prosperous year and to have New York City businesses utilize the power of tw telecom managed fiber network solutions.
