Freedom2Surf (F2S) has become the latest ISP to take EasyNet's unbundled (
LLU) wholesale broadband service, LLUStream. EasyNet also revealed that trials of a 24Mbps service have been conducted, with a launch penned for H2-2005:
Speaking at the company's AGM today chairman Keith Todd said: "We have had a positive response to our LLUStream wholesale product from the industry and are pleased to announce that we have secured a contract today to provide LLUStream to Freedom2surf...having signed up several smaller ISP's for the service already."
A spokeswoman for the telco declined to say which other ISPs had signed up but insisted that Easynet had contacted around 100 service providers so far to punt the wholesale alternative to BT.It's presently unclear how F2S will make use of the new technology, especially with such limited coverage, although no doubt we'll find out soon enough.
