Business ISP XLN Telecom Hikes Line Rental, But Cuts Broadband Prices
Business focused Internet provider XLN Telecom will today increase their monthly phone line rental charge from £15.45 to £16.95 +vat, but they’ve also partly compensated for this by cutting the price of their broadband and phone bundles with a new range of special discounts.
We’re not going to list all of XLN’s package combinations below (some of them add more free calls and faster speeds etc.), but we will summarise two of the main entry-level options. In addition, being a business solution means that all of these prices exclude VAT at 20% and the contracts are for 24 month terms.
Broadband and Phone Connect Basix
* Unlimited broadband usage
* Download speeds of up to 17Mbps
* Free wireless router (£9.99 delivery charge) & setup
* Multiple email addresses
* Standard call ratesPRICE: £FREE for the first 6 months (£6.50 thereafter) + line rental
Fibre & Phone 40 Basix
* Unlimited broadband usage
* Download speeds of up to 38Mbps (9-10Mbps upload)
* Free Super Router (£9.99 delivery charge) & setup
* Multiple email addresses
* Standard call rates
* Free online security
* Free Managed InstallPRICE: £6.50 per month for the first 6 months (£18.50 thereafter) + line rental
It’s also possible to take the broadband as a standalone service (i.e. get your phone line rental from another ISP), although this does cost a fair bit more.
NOTE: At the time of writing their new offers weren’t yet live.
