The pre-paid unmetered dialup offering UK ISP,
Myinternetpass (aka - M.I.P Cards), has already been around for several months. Despite this the service has finally issued a press release announcing its official launch:
Home Internet costs slashed by 50%
~ Myinternetpass launches pre-paid Internet access card for UK households ~
UK households can now get online for at least 50% less, with Myinternetpass, a new way to connect to the Internet.
The Myinternetpass pre-paid Internet access card works like a pre-paid phone card and costs £10. It offers two options for surfing the net: 30 days of unmetered access for heavy users, or 2000 minutes for lighter users, valid over a 3 month period.
At 1/2p per minute, Myinternetpass offers the best value 24/7 metered access of any Internet Service Provider. Its also at least half as expensive as the lowest pay-as-you-go rates offered by the UK's top six ISPs; AOL, Freeserve, BT Openworld, Tiscali, Virgin.net and ntl.
Myinternetpass is available from retailers nationwide (including Balfour Convenience Stores) and can also be bought as a virtual card over the Internet at www.myinternetpass.com, with access details supplied by email. The benefits, aside from the cost, include:
* No contract, or cancellation period
* No additional call charges on phone bills, or other hidden costs
* No software to load: just type a freephone number, user name and password into any home computers built-in Internet connection software
* The flexibility to change between tariffs
* Portability: A user can enter details onto any PC in the UK
* Multiple cards can be used on a single computer in shared accommodation
* No credit history or personal information required
Phillip Glyn, managing director at Myinternetpass, said: If the USA is anything to go by, pre-paid Internet access will see huge take-up over here, in the same way that pre-paid mobile phone vouchers rocketed. Even if youve never used the Internet before, the benefits of Myinternetpass are obvious its simple to use, there is no need to sign any contract and it offers the best value-for-money web access in the UK.
Myinternetpass offers customers e-mail, web site and call centre technical support. It will also shortly be introducing a prepaid broadband card to cater for the growing number of people switching to an always on connection.
