Digital subscriber line uptake is up there with the best

Managed Comms firmly believes in the merits of SDSL UK so we were heartened to see a new study that puts Britain in the vanguard of digital subscriber line uptake.

According to a major report by technology analysts Point Topic, no fewer than six of the top ten broadband countries accessed the web most often with DSL rather than alternatives like cable modems and FTTx.

Those countries were the UK, China, Germany, France, Italy and Brazil.

Managed Comms is one of the biggest advocates of premium digital subscriber lines; for example, we have led the way when it comes to promoting bonded SDSL UK.

More and more businesses are finding that our SDSL UK service can provide remarkably high data transfer rates for significantly less than the cost of a dedicated leased line.

Any doubters have quickly been won over by the promise of a 99.9 per cent service level agreement that guarantees the speeds they will receive.

With such strong SDSL UK offerings around, it’s little wonder that Britain boasts one of the most mature broadband markets in the region.

The Point Topic figures indicate that the UK has the third largest number of digital subscriber line users in western Europe (14.48 million), behind only Germany (22.64 million) and France (17.74 million).

And when you consider that both these countries have larger populations than us, it soon becomes obvious that British broadband customers really know a good deal when they see it.

Gordon Brown compared superfast broadband to electricity

Superfast broadband has been declared the electricity of our time by none other than the prime minister himself.

In a landmark speech, Gordon Brown highlighted the importance of a good web connection and paved the way for a rush towards the higher speeds offered by products like Managed Comms’ SDSL.

Although a typical Managed Comms symmetric digital subscriber line offers 2Mbps upstream and downstream in isolation, it’s possible to bond several together to get phenomenal performance.

Many companies choose to bond four SDSL lines – equivalent to 8Mbps – while some choose to go for the ultimate 16 line package to obtain an astonishing 32Mbps.

And Mr Brown argued that improved upload and download rates like these will revolutionise the public and private sectors.

“Faster broadband speeds will bring new, cheaper, more personalised and more effective public services to people,” he said.

“It will bring games and entertainment options with new levels of sophistication; it will make accessing goods and services immeasurably easier.”

Moreover, he added that it was important for everyone to be able to access the proposed high-speed network because “superfast broadband is the electricity of the digital age”.

Any business that makes the switch to a Managed Comms SDSL will be amazed by the new opportunities opened up by superfast broadband.

HD video conferencing, cloud computing and the ability to use even the most demanding online programs are just some of the potential benefits of SDSL.

And with Managed Comms, it won’t be long before you realise that superfast broadband really is every bit as important as electricity.

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.
