Biscit has launched an enterprise (business) version of its flagship voice and free broadband (ADSL) consumer package - freeMAX Office. The 'up to' 8Mbps package costs from £30 +vat per month and includes a free data backup service:
The product is unique. As users, SMEs will never receive another bill from BT for line rentals** and they can call other Biscit users at anytime at no cost whatsoever. In addition, each SME customer is provided a monthly allowance of 12 hours talk time to UK landlines at anytime, free broadband with up to 8 Mbps download and 448/832 Kbps*** upstream speeds, unlimited bandwidth allowance, and a free PC data protection**** backup service.
This includes anti-virus and anti-spam software, unlimited email accounts, global access to email via Biscit's website, 100MB email storage, 100MB web space, a static IP address, a fax-to-email service, a dial-up account for back-up or use when out of the office, unlimited 0870/0871 phone numbers, and a one page website. The superfast broadband package is available nationwide and users will be charged a one-off set up fee of £59.00.
As options, SMEs can also subscribe to the provider's enhanced broadband care solution for an additional £10 per month, as well as newsgroups for £30 a year, or £5 per month.
In the unlikely event that SMEs need customer support, customers can call upon Biscit's London technical teams every minute-of-the-year. Calls cost no more than 10p per minute from a landline, and average response time is under one minute.
As a further incentive for SMEs to sign up for freeMAX Office, Biscit is offering customers free Businessmax software to prepare legal paperwork for the limited period to September 1, 2006. With a retail price of around £300, SMEs can use the software to efficiently deal with a range of business-critical issues such as safety, debt recovery, contracts and letters.
