NewNet has boosted their 'Home LITE' broadband ADSL packages by introducing flexible bandwidth, which should allow users to increase their monthly quota from 3GB up to 15GB. Sadly it's not free:
Customers that choose a NewNet Home LITE package with 3GB monthly bandwidth allowance can now extend their usage up to 7GB, 11GB or 15GB on a monthly basis depending on their usage requirements, without pre-booking or pre-paying. (See additional notes to editors for new bandwidth billing).
Users can continue to enjoy using their broadband even if they exceed the monthly quota of 3GB and need not worry about pre-booking bandwidth or upgrading their package, instead they will be billed for the extra bandwidth they use.
John Mobley, NewNet plc, Managing Director said:
NewNet offers one of the most competitive broadband packages on the market. A Home LITE broadband package with flexible bandwidth will help our customers to enjoy the benefits of broadband by allowing them to flex their bandwidth as they need without switching services.
