UK ISP Click4Internet Delivers 30Mbps Wireless Broadband to Isle of Wight Ferry

Posted: 28th Feb, 2011 By: MarkJ

The old system claimed to deliver on-board internet access speeds of up to 3.6Mbps by creating a bridge between the ship and T-Mobile UK's Mobile Broadband ( HSPA ) network. Sadly this service suffered from some extremely patchy coverage and the real-world performance turned out to be somewhat disappointing.

A Click4Internet Spokesperson told ISPreview.co.uk exclusively:

We replaced the Moovera Networks equipment with our wireless megaband service as the mobile network based product was not able to perform sufficiently or provide full coverage of the ferry route. It never was able to provide usable internet access to supply the ship as far as we were told by staff.

We now have a reliable full route coverage running at 30mbps symmetrical via our "Wiber" network. We cover the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth with the areas fastest broadband service available. We call it megaband as it outperforms almost all other broadband products.

It's understood that the Click4internet solutions uses WiMAX wireless technology, which is supported by a strong fibre optic cable based backbone, to deliver its superfast broadband service. As stated above the product is also available in Portsmouth and on the Isle of Wight itself for both home and business use.

Prices for a domestic (home) 10Mbps (3Mbps upload) connection start at just £10 inc. VAT per month with a £249 installation fee. However the minimum contract term of 2 years (24 months) seems a bit excessive. Faster options are available, rising to 50Mbps on business links.
