The Fiber Cut — One Year On…

…ption. What has Cruzio done to prepare for the future? In late 2009 Cruzio completed the acquisition of Gatespeed Wireless. By combining Gatespeed’s network with Cruzio’s existing network in Santa Cruz we have been able to build a fully redundant system.

Remember Noisy Modems? Imagine a House Full of ‘Em

…ter the Cruzio babies were born. Any problem with the internet service was immediately followed by a cascade of sound effects: the alarm shrieking, Mom and Dad yelling expletives, babies wailing. That’s how you ran a startup ISP in 1992. It’s Different Now Luckily, Cruzio — maybe because of the valiant efforts — attracted enough customers to become a real business.
