Business ISP Fluidata has further enhanced its broadband SDSL (symmetric = same speed both ways) products by introducing a new uncontended (1:1) option - FluidOne. The new packages place SDSL head-to-head with Leased Lines:
There are two main differences between FluidOne and the SDSL services offered by many ISPs. The first is that the bandwidth is uncontended, this is in contrast to most other SDSL services. BT for example are only able to offer SDSL with a 10:1 contention ratio, but with FluidOne, like leased lines, the full bandwidth is dedicated entirely to the client. This means that bandwidth availability can always be relied upon, making Voice Over IP (VOIP) and Video Conferencing services a reality. The second difference is that FluidOne is a complete package, and includes everything you need to get up and running, with the most common additional charges and optional extras included as standard: line installation, router, service level agreement, full support and static IP addresses. The pricing is transparent with no hidden costs.
