CREATIVE ISP OFFERS INNOVATIVE BROADBAND SOLUTION
izR Solutions, one of the fastest growing business focused ISPs, today announces the launch of the UKs first low-cost broadband package with an optional pay-as-you-go rate, izR Broadband.
The new service has been launched to take advantage of dormant bandwidth capacity not currently used by IZRs primary market of business customers, during evenings and weekends. For only £16.99 per month + VAT, the package offers a high speed connection of 512 Kbps between 5pm and 8am weekdays and 24hrs at weekends, unrestricted download volume and an additional option of a pay-as-you-go broadband rate of £2 per day during peak times (8am to 5pm).
This innovative new package offers business quality broadband for home users, ideal for
remote workers, families, the occasional workers from home and for businesses who would like to supply broadband access to their employees to increase their productivity.
izR Solutions has also reduced the pricing of other home and business DSL packages with the aim of increasing the revenue stream from its highly successful Channel Partner Program. The program currently supports many IT companies such as System Integrators via either a Reseller or Virtual ISP agreement.
Business Development Director, Alistair Banks, of izR Solutions says, The experience gained in this product will further enable izR Solutions to tune its DSL products direct to businesses.
izR Solutions is the first to offer this new package, due to BT Wholesales (BTW) introduction of Capacity Based Charging (CBC) which has caused a major shift in the pricing patterns of the UKs leading ISPs. izR Solutions build and manage private and secure IP data networks for businesses using products and services like VoIP and Internet, as well as private networks. With the combination of these izR Solutions are the first to be able to offer this unlimited service at such a competitive price.
