Biscits Free Broadband Sees Success
Posted: 22nd May, 2006 By: MarkJ
ISP Biscit has spoken about the success of its recently launched freeMAX product, which bundles a non-BT voice package with an 'up to' 8Mbps broadband connection from £19.99 per month:
Since launch last month, freeMAX has grabbed the public imagination and has begun to change the way that consumers buy voice and broadband services. By transfering the management and billing of their BT landlines to Biscit consumers eliminate line rental charges forever, get 720 free call minutes to national landlines at anytime, and unlimited free calls to other freeMAX or biscit broadband users. freeMAX costs just £19.99* per month.
They also get superfast broadband of up to 8Mbps, a monthly data send/receive allowance of 2GB, as well as all the tools needed to protect and enhance their online experience.
In the unlikely event that freeMAXers need to call upon Biscit's much-heralded every minute-of-the-year customer support service, calls to its London-based teams cost a maximum of 10p per minute from a landline and average response time is under a minute.
Full details of Biscit's freeMAX product are given at http://www.biscit.net, where you'll also find a handy price checker and competitor matrix.
More on freeMAX
Software tools and services also included at no cost in the freeMAX package comprise anti-spam and anti-virus software, 10 email addresses, 50MG email storage, web site builder software, a photo album, forums, and a fax to email service. Gamers can opt for a static IP address at an additional £1.50 per month. Users wishing newsgroups can also opt for this service at an additional £5.00 per month.
* For the first 6-months of the 18-month contract, thereafter £21.75 per month. Callers to Biscit placing an order for freeMAX will be charged the standard monthly contract price of £21.75. Consumers with a non-BT landline can also sign-up for the same package for a one-off biscit telephone set-up fee of £69.00 including modem and filters. All prices quoted are VAT inclusive, and phone packages are invoiced quarterly in advance. FAQs are given on the freeMAX section of Biscit's website.
Despite the positive wording, no firm figures are given to show just how popular the new product really is, although there certainly is a market for it.
