BLAZE Wireless Plan 100Mbps Broadband Service for Arun Valley

Hybrid fibre optic and wireless broadband ISP BLAZE Wireless has announced that their network, which launched last year with coverage around parts of Chichester in West Sussex (here), now looks set to be expanded to reach slowspots in the Arun Valley area.

Apparently the provider, which received “significant demand” in the region, has already finished an “extensive appraisal of the proposed network coverage and completed a technical survey of the infrastructure required to implement the service“.

At present there’s no project ETA, although Sussex Police have agreed in principal to BLAZE’s plan for installing their equipment on their existing masts at Burton Down. Once delivered consumers would pay £80 for the needed hardware (add £65 for it professionally installed), plus a £25 connection fee and then the packages start at £29 per month for a 15Mbps service with a 35GB usage allowance.

Sadly the top 90-100Mbps package only comes with a 110GB usage allowance and yet this would set you back £77 per month, although don’t forget that there’s no need to pay phone line rental on top. Never the less it’s not cheap, although the speeds are symmetrical. Credits to Thinkbroadband for spotting the update.
