Free Broadband upgrades and connections for all, Manx Telecom announces

29th January 2010

Internet users on the Isle of Man have some warming winter news following the announcement that Manx Telecom is providing free broadband connections, free upgrades to superfast ADSL2+ and increasing the value in each of its broadband packages as part of a New Year triple treat.

Download speeds of up to 16 megabytes per second – twice the speed currently experienced by most broadband customers on the Island – are now freely available. Existing customers can upgrade to the new superfast ADSL2+ broadband free of charge. There is also free connection and savings of 50% on the first three months for new customers or those currently using another provider.

It’s also good news for existing customers, as from February 1st Manx Telecom’s popular entry level broadband service gets a 20% increase in monthly use, while the Company’s widely used Unlimited package is reduced by £2 a month.

Manx Telecom Product Manager, Graham Shimmin, said the new packages coupled with free upgrades would provide an opportunity for customers to experience the benefits of superfast broadband.

“Our new broadband packages are quite simply bigger, better and faster,” said Graham, adding that it would also provide customers using dial-up facilities with the perfect time to switch to new super fast broadband and enjoy the benefits.

Anyone looking to take advantage of the free upgrades from Manx Telecom should contact them on 624624 or text ‘brochure’ to 166670.
