UKOnline Preps 24Mbps ADSL2+
Posted: 01st Sep, 2005 By: MarkJ
ISP UK Online has officially joined the race to 24Mbps by announcing the forthcoming launch of its own broadband ADSL2+ based product for under £30 per month:
UK Online's groundbreaking broadband service offering speeds of up to 24Mb will be available in October, for under £30 a month. Consumers can register their interest via http://www.ukonline.net
Chris Stening, General Manager at UK Online, commented, "We've been pushing the current ADSL technology to its limits with 8Mb broadband since late last year. This is yet another innovation for UK Online."
With ADSL2+ being approved for commercial use, the launch of a new generation of broadband services at up to 24Mb will be yet another milestone in a year of firsts for UK Online to add to the first 8Mb broadband in November 2004 and the first broadband for under £10 in April 2005. UK Online has been conducting technical trials of ADSL2+ with parent company Easynet since March of this year.
It's interesting to see that before BT has even managed to get its own 8Mbps ADSL product off the ground; others are already jumping on the 24Mbps bandwagon.
Having said that, the ability of such services to perform said feat shouldn't be overestimated, there are many technical problems with delivering said speeds.
Suffice to say that the act of reporting on ISP news, which we conduct each and every day, just got interesting again.
