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.

We felt it was important to leave you with some comments from some of our customers. Demonstrating the commitment to our clients and giving you some general feedback about our services.

"Your streaming service impressed all who participated in the project demonstrations as well as those who were there to watch. It was a pleasure doing business with your company and we look forward to using it again next time we have the need. Thank you for all your help and courteous service."

- Stephanie A. Morgan, Contracts Administrator, SYS Technologies www.systechnologies.com

"StreamGuys is the perfect fit for us--economical, scalable, and best of all, 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."

- Ken Siebert, New Media Manager, Yellowstone Public Radio www.ypradio.org

"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.

"How's my service? A dream come true. I am 100% satisfied. Switching to you guys has been the best thing to happen to my show. I would highly recommend you to anyone. Thanks again, you guys are GREAT, I wouldn't trade you for a free server!"

- Meria Heller, The Meria Heller Show www.meriaheller.com

"Streamguys has been rock solid from day one. The services you provide and customer support are top notch. You're a pleasure to work with!"
