ISP Seethelight Confirms Price Revamp for its UK FTTH Broadband Service
ISP Seethelight, which offers a 200Mbps ultrafast fibre optic broadband service (FTTH) to several parts of the UK via the Independent Fibre Networks Limited (IFNL) platform, has revealed a series of new price hikes and some reductions that will take effect from 15th January 2013.
Customers of the Fibre-to-the-Home service, which earlier this year announced plans to initially cover over 50,000 newly built commercial and residential properties at more than 20 sites across the UK, can expect to see their line rental rise from £12.78 to £14.50 per month. Likewise the price of their 25Mbps package will rise from £18.37 to £22 per month and the 50Mbps option will go from £8.68 to £10.
But thankfully it’s not all bad news. The providers 100Mbps package will see its price slashed from £39.31 to £25, while their top 200Mbps package will fall from £80.61 to just £39! On top of that the standard line rental will now include FREE evening and weekend calls and 24/7 anytime calls can be added for an extra £5 per month.

Surely these packages are the wrong way round. I have never seen a 50Mbps cheaper than a 25Mbps anywhere.
No it’s correct but the 25Mbps package is an older one and I think that price is for a standalone service, whereas the others may have some form of bundle. Unfortunately Seethelight’s website is quite spares on detail and they don’t even clarify contract lengths, upload speeds or other aspects.
