THUS Launches
SDSL As Backbone To New Demon Premier Broadband Range
Symmetric
broadband provides cost effective, high performance addition to expanding Demon
Broadband product portfolio
THUS plc today announced an extension to its
Demon broadband product portfolio by offering its customers Symmetric Digital
Subscriber Line (SDSL) services. SDSL broadband packages will be introduced as
part of THUS’s new Demon Premier Broadband range, a business-class product
suite which also includes ADSL services and introduces, for the first time, an
optional managed service level agreement for business critical applications
reliant on broadband availability.
Developed as a robust alternative to
leased lines or ISDN dial-up services, the Demon Premier Broadband range offers
customers a choice of bandwidth, symmetry and configuration options, meaning
there is now a comprehensive broadband service to match the differing needs of
individual businesses.
With Demon Premier Broadband, THUS is joining an
elite group of ISPs who provide SDSL services. However, while most offerings
are contended at 10:1, THUS will provide either a dedicated use (1:1) or a very
low 5:1 contention ratio on national SDSL services available at speeds ranging
from 1Mbps to 2Mbps. Given SDSL’s equal bandwidth for both upstream and
downstream traffic, the new service is ideal for businesses hosting mail, web
or data servers. For example, companies in the media sector are ideal
candidates for this service because of their strong dependence on sending, as
well as receiving, large data files.
The low contention ratio on
THUS’s Demon Premier Broadband services makes them the ideal choice for
businesses seeking consistent, high-speed broadband performance that is also
cost-effective. The THUS SDSL service comes as a complete service including its
own dedicated service line – so businesses do not need to give up an
existing BT phone line, or have to provide a new one
themselves.
“Sending and receiving data is the lifeblood of
organisations of any size and therefore SDSL is a highly appropriate solution
for many businesses today. However, because so few ISPs offer it, it tends not
to be on an organisation’s radar. THUS is therefore changing the broadband
landscape by adding SDSL to its portfolio,” said Nigel Stevens, Product
Director, THUS plc. “Adding SDSL service options to our existing ADSL
offerings under the Demon Premier Broadband range is a demonstration of
THUS’s ongoing commitment to offering more than a standard broadband
service to all.”
With technical support available 24 hours a day,
seven days a week, the Demon Premier Broadband service will also include static
IP address(es), a free domain name and mail and web forwarding.
