Hyperoptic Bring First 1 Gig Residential Product to UK
LONDON, September 14, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
- Revolutionary Broadband Prices Announced to Take on the Big Players
Hyperoptic [http://www.hyperoptic.com ], the speed-breaking full fibre
provider, is launching today, bringing UK consumers 1 Gigabit download and
upload speeds for the first time. Hyperoptic's aim is to revolutionise
broadband in the UK by bringing fibre directly into the premises resulting
in a lightning fast connection - currently 140 times the speed of the UK
average. (OFCOM)
This will allow residents to work from home at speeds normally only
available to the select few in the workplace, increasing productivity and
reducing commuting. Gamers and families where there are multiple Internet
users are also set to benefit.
Hyperoptic will initially roll out its Gig services to large residential
and commercial properties in London, moving to other UK cities in 2012.
Hyperoptic's residential pricing will start at a comparatively low
GBP12.50 per month for broadband (based on taking phone service with a
GBP12.50 line rental, including free UK evening and weekend calls). Their
packages will include:
20Mb/s Hyper-lite £12.50pcm
100 Mb/s Hyper-active £25.00 pcm
1Gig Hyper-sonic £50.00 pcm
Hyperoptic's specially designed fibre-rich network will deliver end-user
speeds at the actual speed advertised. This contrasts with copper based
services, where the distance you live from the exchange and the number of
other customers using the service determines your usable speed.
Dana Tobak, Managing Director of Hyperoptic explains, "There is a
preconception that fibreoptic is expensive and therefore, can not be made
available to consumers. At the same time, the UK is effectively lagging in
our rate of fibre broadband adoption. Our pricing shows that the power of
tomorrow can be delivered at a competitive and affordable rate.
"Going live today, we really feel we are at the start of an exciting
journey in terms of taking broadband to the next level in the UK."
