New study reveals UK SDSL price drop

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Managed Comms’ 1:1 SDSL is just £99 per month

An independent study has detected a significant drop in broadband prices fuelled in part by our market-leading deals.

SDSL remains one of the most cost-effective ways of receiving fast broadband; for instance, Managed Comms sells market-leading SDSL priced at just £99 per month.

What’s more, this particular product has a 1:1 contention ratio so you don’t have to worry about congestion caused by sharing the line with other users.

It’s a perfect illustration of how the UK boasts one of the most competitive high-speed broadband markets in the world.

According to the research from broadband intelligence providers Point Topic, average SDSL prices per megabit dropped by an astonishing 30 per cent over a 12-month period from 2008 to 2009.

Compare that to the likes of the middle east and Africa, where SDSL broadband can cost up to six times as much, and it quickly becomes apparent that deals such as Managed Comms’ £99 line are not to be missed.

Looking at the report in more detail, it appears cable broadband gradually dropped in price over the course of the year.

But the cost of fibre optic broadband actually rose by approximately 2.1 per cent.

Managed Comms offers highly competitive SDSL business packages in the UK with a variety of speeds to suit individual clients’ needs, wide geographic coverage and excellent customer service.

In addition, as the owners of the sought-after domain name SDSL.co.uk, Managed Comms customers can be confident that they really are dealing with the experts.

Google Apps Marketplace could generate more interest in SDSL

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Managed Comms is one of the UK’s leading SDSL providers

SDSL providers are preparing for a sharp rise in demand after news broke that a major cloud computing service is to be massively expanded.

More than two million businesses have already switched to Google Apps after recognising that it can slash the amount of time and money they spend buying, installing and maintaining servers and software.

And the launch of the Google Apps Marketplace, a collection of integrated third-party apps covering everything from payroll to collaboration, could dramatically speed up the changeover.

Of course, working in this way is greatly enhanced by a powerful SDSL connection and upstream rates are particularly crucial; this is because companies need to upload large volumes of data to the cloud on a regular basis.

Some businesses like the idea of cloud computing but feel that broadband limitations in their area make it impractical.

But Managed Comms, one of the UK’s leading SDSL providers, has worked tirelessly to increase upload speeds for firms that are a long way from the nearest exchange or struggle to find local SDSL provision.

We are able to offer excellent coverage all over the UK because we actually have access to more exchanges than rival SDSL providers like BT.

And to hammer home the message, we have even set up a simple tool on the homepage of our website.

Enter your name, telephone number and email address into the Managed Comms’ SDSL Availability Check and we will quickly respond, giving you an expert assessment of SDSL coverage in your area.

West Lancs businesses in SDSL revelation

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Not all SDSL UK providers are equal

Businesses all over the world rely on SDSL – UK companies are no exception.

It is an open secret that some parts of the country are much better served than others, although Managed Comms is at the forefront of bringing high-speed broadband to companies wherever they are based.

Take west Lancashire, for example, which has just been identified as an area that would benefit from superior SDSL UK coverage, according to local newspaper the Ormskirk Advertiser.

A new West Lancashire borough council report noted that nine telephone exchanges in the area are not SDSL-enabled, potentially meaning many local businesses are missing out on next-generation broadband speeds.

It’s worth pointing out, however, that many UK companies needlessly miss out on high-speed broadband because they have been given incomplete information.

These businesses are commonly told that they cannot get the service because BT does not operate an SDSL-enabled exchange in their area.

But thanks to Managed Comms’ ability to access more exchanges than BT, we can actually offer far superior SDSL UK coverage.

And perhaps unsurprisingly, the council study concludes that boosting uptake will facilitate economic growth and development throughout west Lancashire.

That may be because an SDSL UK connection offers much faster internet speeds than conventional broadband.

Following publication of the findings, councillor Adrian Owens, portfolio holder for regeneration at West Lancashire borough council, revealed that a Skelmersdale company relocated to the Isle of Man recently citing slow internet speeds.

He said: “It’s not a problem unique to west Lancashire – it’s true over most of Lancashire – but we’ve been aware of the problem for some time. Reliable high-speed broadband is key.”

Meanwhile, a Lancashire county council spokesman said that it was investigating the lack of SDSL UK coverage in the region.

He explained: “We are looking at provision to see what’s there at the moment and to find out what it’s possible to do to improve broadband provision.”
