UK ISP BT has today launched a new business bundle offering both broadband Internet access (BT Total Broadband Option 1) and voice calls (BT One Plan) to UK landlines, international destinations and mobile numbers for £30 +vat per month. The package does not include line rental, which is required at £14.10 per month.
“In uncertain times, cash flow is king,” said Bill Murphy managing director, BT Business. “Knowing what your monthly outgoings are is as important as keeping them low. With the introduction of these changes, BT is helping businesses manage their communications spend with one low fixed cost package that they have the power to define themselves based on what they need.
BT is offering businesses a premier a la carte service with the value and cost predictability benefits of having a set menu. If the dessert is not to your taste – why keep paying for it? This is a natural evolution in the market of communication services.”
The package is subject to a lengthy 24 month minimum term contract and this particular bundle is only available until 30th June 2009. BT also claims that 9 out of 10 business broadband faults are resolved in under four hours and 95% of calls to its 24/7 UK help desk are answered within 30 seconds.
It's worth pointing out that the BT Business Total Broadband Option 1 package offers speeds of up to 8Mbps, has a 10GB monthly usage allowance and includes 50 Wi-Fi minutes per month on BT Openzone Hotspots.
