A new player is about to enter the super-fast broadband market in the UK after Zen Internet announced its intention to provide speeds of up to 40Mbps later this year.
Super-fast fibre-optic broadband is the future of broadband technology. So far BT and Virgin Media both offer this service to people across the UK, but the addition of a new company offering the service is welcome news as it will provide consumers with a growing choice of services.
Zen Internet, which is based in Rochdale, will be providing a fibre-optic broadband service to both normal residential customers as well as business customers. It announced that the services will be launched in September of this year, and there will be a number of different packages available.
All the packages will start at a minimum of up to 15Mbps, with the highest offering speeds of up to 40Mbps. This isn’t the fastest speed in the UK, but it is certainly up there amongst the best. Upload speeds for the services will be between 2Mpbs and 10Mbps.
Zen has been running a trial of the service for a while now, and it is now offering current customers the opportunity to join in. Customers should send an email to fibre@zen.co.uk with their name, telephone number and address in order to take part.
The new broadband is only going to be made available where fibre cables already exist, so if you do not currently benefit from fibre-optic broadband then you could find yourself missing out.
Prices for the new services have not yet been announced.
