Internet Central's Home 1/2Mbps ADSL!

Posted: 20th Feb, 2003 By: MarkJ
The UK ISP Internet Central has today launched residential versions of BTs 1 and 2Mbps broadband ADSL services:

INTERNET CENTRAL ANNOUNCES THE UK’S FIRST 1MB AND 2MB 50:1 WIRES ONLY ADSL SOLUTION WITH A STARTING PRICE BELOW £30

Internet Central, the Keele based ISP and licensed Regional Telecommunication Operator has today announced the launch of 1 and 2mb/s Wires Only ADSL service targeted at both small businesses and the domestic market.

The service, which will be contended at 50:1, will be the first of its kind in the UK marketplace and will be available on all ADSL enabled exchanges throughout the UK. Customers requiring a fast, low cost install and rental solution for domestic or “Small Office/Home Office” (SOHO) can now enjoy the benefits of an “always on”, fixed price internet connection at an “entry level” price.

The two new services will be offered in 4 variants

• No Frills connection and rental only
• Professional package which offers a 200mb of web and e-mail space, 30 e-mail accounts, email virus and spam filtering
• Business Light package which includes 100mb of web and e-mail space, 15 e-mail accounts e-mail virus scanning and spam filtering
• Domestic package which include 50mb of web and e-mail space, 5 e-mail accounts, a .me.uk domain name, and e-mail virus and spam filtering

A range of ADSL modems and routers are also available at competitive prices.

Prices for the 1mb solution start at £29.99 + VAT while the 2mb solutions start at £39.99 + VAT. These prices are extremely competitive and are intended to drive a higher usage of ADSL technology.

The service will launch on March 3rd and pre-orders are now being taken. As this is a brand new product – not available anywhere else at the present time- Internet Central is anticipating installation lead times of 10 working days. We are currently working on a migration solution for existing ADSL customers who wish to transfer to the new services but this will not be available until mid April.


It's not entirely clear how IC is able to offer such a service, although NTL and Telewest now have some more serious competition to worry about.

Indeed, unlike similar offers from Bulldog, IC's service still uses BTs own network and is thus available to any ADSL enabled exchanges.
