London, 15th November 2004 – UK Online launches today an 8Mb consumer broadband service to 4.4 million households. Priced at £39.99 per month, it brings groundbreaking speed at a groundbreaking price and makes the digital home a reality.
The service includes WiFi as standard and users can therefore connect multiple PCs, laptops and game consoles anywhere within the home. The high speed enables home users to download MP3s within seconds, on line gaming can move up a gear, and streamed videos start to look like real TV for the first time.
On the same infrastructure, UK Online is looking to add voice, TV and Video on Demand during 2005.
The UK has lagged behind countries such as France, South Korea and the USA where fast services of 6Mb or over have been available for some time. With this launch, UK Online puts Britain firmly at the forefront of the digital revolution.
