The network will use DSL technology across more than 800 sites
in six countries and will be designed and managed by Vanco as part
of a five-year contract.
"Obtaining the most suitable network for our needs means that we
have the freedom to carry on growing and evolving," said Ruskin

create efficiencies in Specsavers' business operation through
the use of a single global provider, according to Ruskin.
The partnership will help Specsavers to create and sustain

throughout the contract life, the company said.
