Tiscali's £15.99 Business Broadband

Posted: 04th Nov, 2004 By: MarkJ

Tiscali UK has today launched three new broadband ADSL packages under the 'Tiscali Business Broadband' banner. Typically the new additions, which start at just £15.99 per month, are targeted towards small businesses and home business users:

Starting from only £15.99 a month (ex VAT) - almost £10 less than its nearest rival - the packages offer a range of free but invaluable 'extras' such as anti-virus protection and spam filtering. The entry cost package at £15.99 a month, offers 256kbps connection speeds (5 x faster than a standard dial-up connection) with 20 x 50Mb email accounts, a domain name and 100Mb free web space.

Also available from today is Tiscali Business Broadband 512kbps (10x faster than dial-up) at £19.99* a month and 1Mbps (20 x faster than dial-up) at £29.99* a month.

Each of the three packages also offers:
S 1 domain name
S 20 x 50Mb email/webmail accounts
S 100 Mb if web space to host a website
S 1 Gb of mail storage
S 1 tiscali.co.uk email account
S An optional free static IP address (Introductory Offer)
S Guaranteed maximum contention ratio of 50:1 for 256 and 512kbps services and 20:1 for the 1Mbps service
S One off £50 connection cost*

Each Tiscali Business Broadband package comes with a choice of modem options.

S Sagem F@st 800 USB modem £20.00 (ex VAT)
S Speedtouch 510 Ethernet router (four port) £60.00 (ex VAT)
S Wires only, if you already have a modem, Free.

Mary Turner CEO, Tiscali UK says: "We designed 'Tiscali Business Broadband' as a compelling offer for UK small businesses and business home workers, making the packages very simple to understand and choose from. These offer firstly a choice of connection speeds according to the small businesses needs and secondly we have built in essential services required by a small business, such as a simple domain solution and a substantial email package. We believe this is THE business broadband offer that smaller companies and home business workers have been waiting for."

'Tiscali Business Broadband' is available immediately and further information can be found at www.tiscali.co.uk/offer . In addition, from January 2005 Tiscali customers who find they are outgrowing their current package can upgrade to 'Tiscali Business Broadband'.

Normally business broadband packages are ALL 20:1 contended, cost more to allow greater bandwidth flexibility in a commercial environment, dedicate more network bandwidth and include a static IP as standard.

Tiscalis offer seems more like a re-labelling of standard consumer packages with some added extras, but that doesnt have to be a criticism. Indeed, understanding the specific difference between business and home packages has always been a blurred area.
