Easynet
partners with Onetel to bring superfast broadband to Onetel
customers
Easynet Group Plc, the pan-European broadband networking
company, has today signed a 3-year contract to provide wholesale broadband
services to Onetel, Centrica’s telecommunications arm. Onetel will utilise
Easynet’s local loop infrastructure to provide cost-effective next
generation broadband services to its customer base.
Easynet’s
LLUStream – the first viable LLU wholesale alternative to BT Wholesale
-will enable Onetel to offer a wide range of broadband options across
Easynet’s unbundled network in the UK. The services will be available to
Onetel at a significant discount to BT Wholesale broadband services and enable
them to offer 8Mb broadband to customers within LLU areas. It will also allow
access to even faster speeds of up to 24Mbps when Easynet’s trials of
ADSL2+ are complete later this year.
David Rowe, Chief Executive
Officer, Easynet, said: “This is an important milestone for the company.
Onetel is a key player in the U.K. telecommunications market and the selection
of Easynet is an endorsement of our Local Loop strategy.”
Ian
El-Mokadem, Managing Director, Onetel, commented: “The partnership with
Easynet will allow us to deploy next generation broadband services and benefit
from Local Loop Unbundling economics. The market is set to evolve rapidly and
we wanted a partner that could demonstrate experience in the local loop, and a
willingness to work in a true partnership.”
