Kencomp's 1Mbps Wireless Service
Posted: 24th Apr, 2003 By: MarkJ
Net4Nowt reports that UK ISP Kencomp Internet has started offering a new symmetrical (same speed both ways) broadband wireless service running @ 1Mbps for just £19.99 +vat per month!:
For users within site of the TV mast in Kendal, Natland and Burneside, we now offer a connection to the net at up to 5.5mb/s via a radio network. Because the service is synchronous (upstream and downstream speeds are the same), the service offers better performance than traditional ADSL broadband, plus far greater reach.
Uniquely, users can also transfer files between themselves and other local users at a full 11mb/s regardless of the service they choose.
To use this service, you will need supply of radio equipment at £ 249.00 INC *. However, if you subscribe for a minimum period of 12 Months, then the cost may be spread over that period interest free at a cost of £20.75 per month.
* - Additional equipment may be required at extra cost in certain locations to obtain reliable service. A charge will be made for installation if required.
We are now in the process of rolling out this successful service to other towns within Cumbria that are without ADSL. By April 2003, we should have covered several other neighbouring towns and villages.
Kencomp also offers a 2Mbps residential service for £49.99 per month, both of which are listed with a contention ratio of 100:1. It's noted that the current contention is physically 40:1.
