Why Choose Us?: Press Releases

PlusNet turbo charges Home Surfing
4th April 2003 - Sheffield, UK
 

Following yesterday's news of their huge 'Spring Savings', PlusNet are pleased to announce that they're already taking signups for their three new high-bandwidth products, released yesterday to compliment the existing Home Broadband range.

PlusNet can now offer these much demanded high speed, low contention ADSL solutions to the home user thanks to the recent BT wholesale price reductions. This also means that they are exceptionally low cost, and as usual for PlusNet products, come crammed with all the coolest extras imaginable.

New products:
The new feature-rich options for the more demanding home user are:

Home500 at £29.99/mth (inc. VAT), Home1000 at £44.99/mth (inc. VAT), and Home2000/mth at £59.99/mth (inc. VAT).

Contention ratios on all these products are 20:1, and as usual, there is absolutely no cap on bandwidth.

Great Features with these Home Broadband Accounts:

  • High-speed Broadband - Choice of standard 500kbps or new 1000kbps and 2000kbps options
  • Email - All products come with unlimited e-mail addresses, chosen by you!
  • Web space - Up to 250MB of webspace included with your account *
  • Support - Call PlusNet's Award-winning support 365 days a year, either online or over the phone. It's free to call from any UK landline or mobile.
  • Static IP as standard
  • Always-on - Broadband Internet is 'always-on' and you can still use the phone as normal
  • Contention options - Share your available bandwidth with fewer people with 20:1 contention (ADSL Home 500, 1000, 2000) or low-cost 50:1 contention (ADSL Home Surf, Home Self-Install)

Full details on these and other products will be available on www.plus.net.

Alistair Wyse, Technical Director said, "These three new self-install products, at these prices, are a landmark achievement for the home DSL market. We fully anticipate significant take up of these new products as ADSL availability accelerates throughout the UK. The 1Mb and 2Mb options will be available from the 1st May, so we're taking advance orders now at http://www.plus.net. Make sure you register now and be one of the first in the country to enjoy Turbo Charged Home Surfing!"

Whether you're a home user or a business that needs to get online quickly and dependably, PlusNet is definitely the Smarter Way to Internet.

* All home accounts feature 250MB of webspace except ASDL Home Surf, which includes 25MB of webspace.
