Be Broadband new low cost high speed deal
Be Broadband, a company owned by Telefonica, has released a new budget value that offers internet connection speeds of 8mphs for around ?90 a year, at the rate of ?7.50 a month. The new deal is much better than the previous cheapest deal by the provider, but also allows users a download quota of 40GB per month.
Everything else in the budget package has the same details of any other Be Broadband package, which includes an ADLS2+ wireless modem, a one year contract, round the clock customer support, and an upload speed of 1.3mbps.
The provider stated that the contract will be for unlimited until June, 20th, 2010 and that users who think that they will need higher speeds or download quota can choose the next level up which costs ?13.50 per month.
Head of operations at Be Broadband, Tom Williams, stated that the company has noticed that the marketing trends are to provide more freedom among package options and packages that are lower in price.
O2 and TalkTalk will be the main competitors for customers after these facets with TalkTalk offering customers a package that includes broadband connection and free evening and weekend calls within the UK for only ?7 per month.
This may be more threatening for BE if it was not shouldered by its parent company O2 which allows it to build phone deals together with broadband in any areas where there is a network for it to utilize.
