Default Blueyonder upgrading my internet connection to 10mb - 09-02-2005, 10:21 AM

Great news for existing customers -- 11th August 2005

We are making your broadband internet service even better... At blueyonder we are committed to providing you with the best broadband service and the best value in the market place.

With this in mind, we are pleased to announce that we will be making your service even faster at no extra cost whilst continuing to give you the peace of mind of a completely unlimited service unlike our competitors at Wanadoo and BT.


What is going to happen
We will be making the following changes to your service:

blueyonder broadband - 512k becomes 2Mb

Currently our introductory service runs at up to 512K. This will become up to 2Mb, that's 4x faster at no extra cost.

In addition we are doubling the upstream speed (the speed at which you can attach photos and files to the internet) to up to 256k.

blueyonder broadband complete - 1Mb becomes 4Mb

Our standard service currently has a speed of up to 1Mb. This will become a super-fast up to 4Mb service, that's 4x faster than the current speed at no extra cost.

We are also increasing the upstream speed to up to 384k from 128k.

blueyonder broadband elite - 2Mb and 4Mb become an amazing 10Mb

Our elite services with speeds of either 2Mb or 4Mb will both be increased, to up to 10Mb.

The broadband elite- 2Mb service will also benefit from an increase in upstream speed to up to 384k.

The 10Mb service will cost only £35. Customers on the current 4Mb service will benefit from the new £35 price from October.


When will this happen?
We will be starting to upgrade our customers on a region-by-region from September.

The upgrades will happen automatically, you will not have to do anything.

Completion for all customers is scheduled for early next year.

We will contact you directly to let you know when you can start to enjoy these fantastic new speeds.

More details on regional upgrades will be available on this page in September so watch this space for more information...

*Customers who currently have broadband via the televison set-top box (wireless self install kit) can still only benefit from a maximum speed of 1Mb. More information to follow.[/quote:8bc46]
