Onecom Offers FREE Business FTTP Fibre Broadband Installs in Coventry

Business ISP Onecom has launched a new “Lighting Up Coventry” campaign for businesses in the West Midlands city, which offers installation worth £2,000 at no charge to any business that takes their “ultra-fast” (up to 1Gbps) Fibre-to-the-Premise (FTTP) broadband.

The new offer, which can be used with a range of the ISP’s 500Mbps to 1000Mbps products (MetroGIG 500, MetroGIG 1000, Metrozone 500 or Metrozone 1000), is available until 31st March 2017 and will not be applicable to contracts entered into after this time. Onecom will cover up to £2,000 of such Installation Charges.

We note that Openreach (BT) does have a tiny amount of FTTP coverage in Coventry, although so far as we can tell Onecom’s promotion only makes use of Cityfibre’s existing fibre optic network in the city (Onecom also works with Cityfibre in several other UK cities too).

Darren Ridge, CEO of Onecom, said:

“Coventry is one of just a few cities to benefit first from the roll-out of this new technology, and we are pleased to be launching Onecom’s provision of this service in the city with the offer of free installation.

Fibre to the Premises technology is capable of incredible speeds yet it costs less than comparable leased line and Ethernet services. It is the ideal solution for small and medium sized businesses.

Using CityFibre’s ultra-fast networks puts us in the enviable position of being able to deliver all business communications needs over a network that offers ultra-low latency, high speed and reliability.

This works perfectly in tandem with Onecom’s market-leading cloud, mobile, systems and professional IT services and allows freedom for businesses to use data-heavy applications such as video conferencing and remote backup at lightning speeds and at lower cost than equivalent services.

We are delighted to extend our growing partnership with CityFibre and look forward to transforming the way Coventry companies can work online.”

Onecom, which claims to be the UK’s “leading independent business-to-business communications provider and manages more than 335,000 connections“, has naturally setup a special website to help promote the offer (here).
