StreamGuys, “Your Internet
Media Partner.”
Who We Are
In 2000, StreamGuys began; two guys, a laptop, two
cats and a fig tree. We came to answer the call; broadcasters needed
help finding quality and affordable streaming providers.
In steps StreamGuys; we set out to build the best
streaming company possible. We knew that as in any service industry
customer support would be a pillar of our company. So we staffed
StreamGuys with the friendliest and most professional people possible,
experienced leaders with a vision for the future.
We knew that our broadcasters needed to make a profit
from their streaming media. So we offered services that broadcasters
could afford, and more importantly, generate revenue from. We knew
that quality of service is all important in a 24/7 industry, so
we built a better streaming network by working with the best people
and companies in the industry.
Affordable, Reliable, Scalable…..became
our mantra, a rallying cry we chant loudly.
In 2004 StreamGuys achieved a milestone and was ranked
as the #2 CDN as rated by Arbitron. Today we welcome you to join
the StreamGuys community and begin a lasting relationship with a
streaming provider that will take care of your company.
StreamGuys are friendly and expert professionals here
to help your business succeed. We exist to provide you with the
experience, tools and resources to successfully plan, promote, and
deliver successful IP media for large and small businesses.
…….Oh yeah, the fig tree’s
getting fatter, and the cats are too.

from some of our customers. Demonstrating the commitment to our

company and we look forward to using it again next time we have

REACHABLE. Got questions? They've got answers--without excuses.
Even though we're a small account, we've always been treated in
a first-class manner."

"We have been using Streamguys streaming
services for over two years and have been constantly impressed by
their overall service quality. The constant advice and backup provided
by Streamguys has been a breathe of fresh air. Well done on being
so reliable and so cost effective. A rare combination!"
- Jeff Cooper, Managing Director Radio2XS Ltd
www.radio2xs.com
"What I'm most impressed with thus far is
your customer service. I'm not especially computer savvy, but your
tech guy took the time to walk me through the process...every step
of the way. And instead of the 48-hour turnaround time that you
promised (which I thought was probably going to be an unreliable
estimate), we were actually up and running within three hours from
the time that I ordered the product. There's been zero downtime
and so far we're very impressed."
- Jeffrey M. Andrulonis, CRMC, President/CEO
Colonial Radio Group, Inc.

am 100% satisfied. Switching to you guys has been the best thing

again, you guys are GREAT, I wouldn't trade you for a free server!"
- Meria Heller, The Meria Heller Show www.meriaheller.com

"Your team bent over backwards to get us
up and running on your server (special login programming, billing

making this happen. Thanks Guys!"
