Three UK Launch Cheap 5G Powered Business Broadband Plan

Mobile operator Three UK has today announced the launch of their new 5G powered Business Broadband package, which they say will “offer a game changing alternative to fixed line broadband” and costs from just £14.17 per month (excluding VAT) with no upfront charges – this includes a 30-day money-back guarantee.

The Business Broadband package itself, which promises “average download speeds in excess of 100Mbps” (in reality this will vary – depending upon where you are), comes attached to a 24-month contract term (12-months costs more at £18.33) and appears to bundle the same 5G ZTE router that was previously sold to their domestic customers.

Apparently, the business plan allows “heavier streaming, downloading, and increased capacity for multiple users“, although they don’t spell out any specific technical differences. In addition, Three UK make no mention of any other traditionally business centric features, such as Static IP addresses, traffic prioritisation or Service Level Agreements (SLA). Without those it still looks more like a re-badged consumer package.

Snehal Bhudia, Director of Business Propositions & Go To Market for Three UK, said:

“Everyone knows that a strong reliable internet connection is absolutely vital for SMEs, but often those connections are neither convenient nor great value for money.

At Three Business, we know things should be different. That’s why we’ve introduced a broadband connection that runs on 5G, meaning no waiting for roads to be dug up or engineers running wires through the walls, simply plug and play out of the box. All for less than the cost of fixed line alternatives with similar speeds . At Three, we’re in the unique position of being the only mobile network with the UK’s largest spectrum holding, which means our 5G broadband is faster than what our competitors can offer.

We’re really excited at the difference our cost-effective and convenient broadband is making to businesses already.”

End.
