UK ISP XILO Revives Broadband Service Under Uno Branding

Internet and hosting provider XILO, which a short while back removed the fixed line broadband and phone services from their website, has revived the related products under their long-in-development Uno branding.

The ISP has been fairly well rated over the past few years and during that time they’ve also been busy quietly beavering away in the background on Uno, which is a dedicated portal for their Internet access services. Now after all that time they’ve finally launched it.

As before Uno’s ADSL / ADSL2+ services are supplied via two Unbundled Local Loop (LLU) networks, one provided by Vodafone and the other via TalkTalk; these are not to be confused with each ISPs respective consumer services (wholesale suppliers are often a very different proposition).

Outside of LLU coverage, Uno rely on BTWholesale’s national telecoms network like many other ISPs and they also offer FTTC “fibre broadband” services. However their business Ethernet First Mile (EFM) solutions can also utilise Virgin Media’s network, as well as that of the above operators.

Under XILO this combination of suppliers resulted in some confusion between the different package choices, although Uno appears to have simplified things. On the other hand it’s always risky to take a reasonably familiar brand and to stick it under a new name that not many outside of XILO’s sphere will recognise.
