Announces LLU Partnership with Easynet to Launch 8Mbit Broadband
Services
Freedom2Surf (www.freedom2surf.net), one of the UK’s
leading independent ISPs, has today announced that it has become one of the
first independent ISPs to partner with Easynet to offer super-fast broadband
services to UK consumers.
Freedom2Surf will be taking advantage of
LLUStream™ from Easynet, which will give the ISP access to the largest
Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) network infrastructure in the UK. Currently 4.4
million homes and 750,000+ businesses can be served within the LLUStream™
footprint in the major metropolitan areas of the UK, with further expansion
planned in 2005.
Freedom2Surf will be using the advanced speed and
flexibility which LLU infrastructure provides, to develop a range of new
products and services. This will include the planned development of 8Mbit ADSL
broadband services during Summer 2005. The new services will be competitively
priced aimed at consumers who want to take advantage of advanced services such
as video-on-demand.
Chris Panayis, managing director of Freedom2Surf,
commented: “Freedom2Surf has consistently been at the leading edge of
developing and offer UK consumers the most innovative broadband packages
available. By partnering with Easynet and taking advantage of Local Loop
Unbundling, we finally have the flexibility and technology to offer customers
broadband at speeds of up to 8Mbit at an affordable price. We look forward to
offering customers real choice when it comes to selecting a high-speed
broadband provider.”
David Rowe, Easynet’s chief executive
officer, commented: “Freedom2Surf are a great partner for us as they are
