Wanadoo, the new name for Freeserve launches tomorrow, and it has kicked off with two new services to mark the occasion.
"For the last two to three years, we have been very quiet about
broadband, for a purpose. We wanted to make sure we can deliver a good
quality of service,"
"From tomorrow we will have a new identity in the UK market, do whatever
you Wanadoo." |

As previously rumoured it will unveil both a 512Kbps and 1Mbps connection.
The former will be priced at £17.99 per month, and as it seems the norm at the
moment will be capped, this time at 2Gb a month. The faster connection will be
priced at £34.99, but both will include free connection and a free modem.
Also on offer to new users are free music downloads via the Wanadoo Music
Club which is usually £9.99, this includes 1000 streamed tracks and 14
downloads. Available to all users will be free McAfee Security software and
virus and spam filtering, which is becoming common for ISP's to offer broadband
users.
CEO Eric Abensur also hinted at possible changes in the way they obtain their
broadband connections.
| "If we want to make broadband more available we need to change the
way we do broadband in this country. This can only be achieved through
true competition at a wholesale level. Local loop unbundling will help
reduce the costs of broadband signifcantly," |
