Toals bookmakers first past the broadband post

Toals Bookmakers are the very first customer of Holywood-based, The Internet Business for their new Tibus Connect Broadband service.

Giving high-speed access for Toals head office in Pottingers Court, this new service will enable quicker communication with their network of 24 shops throughout Northern Ireland.

Commenting on the service, The Internet Business's Gavin Pierce said: “Helping business get the most out of the Internet is something we excel at. We have been servicing the Internet needs of businesses in Ireland and the UK since 1996 and are currently rated as a top 10 provider by Internet Magazine – not bad for a Northern Ireland company competing with almost 300 other players.

"Our Broadband service is an obvious next step in strengthening our Internet Access product portfolio and we expect it to be very popular with businesses in Northern Ireland.”

Paddy McQuoid, who heads up the day to day management of Toals betting shop network, said the move represented a major step forward in their operation and "will mean that we are first with results and first past the post, every time".
