Wanadoo ups broadband speeds
Fast forward
From November new Wanadoo customers in areas where BT lines have been unbundled will be able to take up the 8Mbps service. Alongside the high-speed broadband will go free off-peak net calls for six months and a package of other services.
The package will cost £14.99 for only the first six months and £17.99 after that.
Wanadoo and many other large net firms are facing competition from cable firms such as NTL and others that already sell broadband services that run at very high speeds.
NTL offers a 10Mbps services and firms such as Bulldog, Easynet and Be are starting to let people go online at 24Mbps.
Wanadoo only began its unbundling trials in August 2005 and it currently has only 500 unbundled customers in Leeds and Bristol. For all other broadband services it re-sells phone lines from BT Wholesale which limits the top speed to 2Mbps.
When local lines from phone exchanges are unbundled, net firms take them off BT and connect them directly to their own network. In this way they can typically offer higher speeds and a wider range of services to customers.
