MetroNet ISP Launches PAYG ADSL
Posted: 28th Feb, 2003 By: MarkJ
UK ISP MetroNet has update its website with details on a new, possibly the first, pay-as-you-go (PAYG) broadband ADSL service.
Are you paying too much for Broadband? On PAYGoDSL you could save money on your Broadband bill.
Taking a wide cross section of current MetroNet ADSL customers, our research shows that up to 60% of 'home' users and over 43% of 'business' users would immediately benefit by switching to PAYGoDSL.
If these statistics were reflected across the user base of other ISPs, PAYGoDSL would offer real savings for thousands of people currently paying too much for Broadband.
PAYGoDSL will particularly appeal to families and small businesses whose online patterns can be a lot more variable than larger companies with more sustained usage, for whom flat rate Broadband packages may be more suitable.
Unlike the traditional Pay-as-you-go model (dialup internet and mobile phones) which most people are already used to, PAYGoDSL will be marked by some unique aspects to ensure that costs don't run away as far as the customer is concerned, nor will there be a requirement to pay for usage up front or caps applied on how much you can download/upload.
PAYGoDSL is not free Broadband, a loss leading service or just a pie-in-the-sky idea. It is a very practical proposition that left the drawing board months ago, from a company versed in delivering innovative and proven Internet services the likes of Just The Name, Port995 and Pay As You Host, since 1996.
We're on track to launch PAYGoDSL in March.
Unfortunately the above explains very little about exactly how the system will work, although we'll find out soon enough (probably based on download usage). First spotted @ Net4Nowt.
