Fused Networks, part of the Manchester based converged solutions provider Fused Group, has announced that it will not be passing on the recent price increase from
BT (
here) to its current or prospective channel partners for DSL (ADSL, SDSL etc.) broadband services:
Philip Knight, the Fused Groups CEO comments:
We have looked long and hard at the changes BT has implemented and, as many other ISPs with a high volume of connections, we are disappointed by the 24% increase and the way in which it was handled. However, passing this on to our partners will not be beneficial to anyone.
Whilst we realise than many competing ISPs have revised their pricing in the light of the BT announcement, we have made the strategic decision to keep our pricing constant. We appreciate our Channel Partners are facing a tough commercial environment and we want to offer them all the tools possible to succeed in 2009.
The provider will instead be maintaining its current pricing structure based around an 'up to' 24Mbps ADSL2+
LLU service starting at £4.61 per month. Sadly other ISPs may not be able to take such a stance and are expecting price increases and or related service adjustments for the New Year.
