Easynet Connect UK (BSkyB) has announced the launch of its new 8Mbps SureStream SDSL (symmetric - same speed for upload and downloads) 1:1 uncontended broadband service for small businesses. The service costs £399 +vat per month and is claimed to be 50% cheaper than comparable services from BT ; contract length is also just 1 year in comparison to BT's 3-5 years.
Chris Stening, Managing Director of Easynet Connect, said:
"By using innovative new techniques we are able to bond connections to our core network differently in order to allow greater uptime and reliability, which is often more important than connection speed. Across our 1,200 exchange footprint we can bring affordable and reliable symmetrical connectivity with good up and download speeds to more small businesses across the UK."
Easynet states that 70% of small businesses will be able to benefit from the new service thanks to the ISP having the largest SDSL coverage in the UK. The product is backed by a 99.9% Service Level Guarantee and 4 hour issue response time. Existing customers on slower connections will be offered an easy upgrade path to the new service.
