UK ISP Zen Cuts Fibre Ethernet Leased Line Prices for Businesses

Broadband ISP Zen Internet says they’ve “permanently” reduced the price of their dedicated and fibre optic based Ethernet leased line data connectivity services for all businesses by up to 36%, which means that prices now start from just £230 +vat per month for 10Mbps and go up to £525 for 1Gbps.

The products all tend to offer scalable bandwidth, typical lead-times of 30-65 working days, dedicated 24 hour support, 99.9% availability (SLA) as standard or a 100% uptime SLA promise when taken with their resiliency options.

Zen is also a registered supplier on the government’s Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme, which offers businesses the opportunity to get a grant worth up to £2,500 to help cover the installation cost of related services (only available on selected Gigabit-capable Ethernet services and subject to eligibility).

Andrew Fryatt, Managing Director of Zen Retail, said:

“The rise of technology such as cloud computing and video conference calls means the internet is even more fundamental to modern business. Despite this, downtime is still costing organisations far too much time and money and in the worst-case scenarios, can shut down entire business operations. The good news is that reliable, uncontended business-grade connectivity is now cheaper than many businesses realise.”

It’s worth pointing out that the reductions may be at least partly linked to price cuts at key network suppliers, such as Openreach (BT).
