UK Online is today launching the first national unlimited broadband service at up to 22Mb, for £29.99 a month. Available in most urban areas, it uses the power of the next generation of broadband technology, ADSL2+, which allows greater speeds than ever before.
Chris Stening, General Manager at UK Online, said,
"After extensive testing on our network, and customer trials, we are delighted to be launching the first ADSL2+-based broadband available nationally. While some customers will get 22Mb or even more, up to 24Mb, the quality of their phone line and distance from the exchange will dictate their maximum speed. Which is why we give customers a pragmatic estimate of the speed their line will support before they sign up."
David Cartwright from Manchester has been trialing UK Online's ADSL2+ broadband for over a month. He said,
"It has revolutionised the way I use the Internet all over again (which I couldn't have imagined happening before I started the trial). 8Mb seemed blisteringly fast when I first got it, but the upgrade to my 20Mb broadband means I can watch streaming media whilst downloading, at the same time as my housemate is playing online games, without it slowing down."
22Mb UK Online Broadband is available now to more than 4 million homes, and has announced that it will be extending its coverage to reach a total of 6 million homes over the next 12 months.
