Satellite broadband is an ever
changing market globally, with emerging markets, new technologies and increased
pressure for faster speeds and lower costs put pressure on the satellite
operators and the resellers.
HySpeed Broadband
a partner of Avanti Communications
has listened to customer’s issues and qualms regarding bills and costs in this
modern age. They are also of the knowledge that due to the technology involved
and market satellite broadband is a more expensive solution compared to ADSL
lines (Cable & Fibre).
Avanti have
listened to their partners including HySpeed broadband and have now brought to
the forefront a new way of paying for satellite broadband.
Avanti becomes the
first European satellite operator to offer Pay-As-You-Go pricing for Ka-band
services. HySpeed Broadband’s director Dr Raied Nasser said;
“As a partner of Avanti Communications will now have a new
option for customers who do not like being in a contract, or don’t use the
internet connection enough to warrant having a monthly subscription. It is now
made easier for users to be in control themselves. They have the power to use
as much, or as little as they want to. No shock bills or throttling of service
for going over the monthly data allowance.” [Dr Raied Nasser]
He also went on to say.
“It also opens up a market for second home owners and the
tourism lettings industry with the ever increasing demand for an internet
connection whilst away.”
The new pricing model from HySpeed Broadband will be made
available to new customers. HySpeed Broadband has stated that if a customer
wishes to then upgrade to a monthly subscription package this is easily done.
As well as this HySpeed Broadband say;
“This may not
be for all consumers out there; many users will opt to stick with monthly contracts
as they need a constant connection which works out in the long run less
expensive. But there will be a small number of users who will want to embrace
this option. Second home or holiday home owners can now not have to worry about
paying for a monthly bill in their rural home, as a simple installation of
HySpeed’s Pay-As-You-Go service means they will only be paying when they are
using the property. “
“It is also a
great service for those in the tourism industry. There have been many cases in
recent years dictating that although tourism is based on getting away from the
city, and the place of work. Many tourists still look for an internet
connection or Wi-Fi connectivity
when choosing a place to stay as it is vital for communication. A pay-as-you-go
service would offer the holiday home owners and property managers a solution
for offering a broadband connection in any home across the UK with satellite
broadband and a pay-as-you-go system, the party who are then staying will
choose whether or not they use the service provided.”
We cannot wait for this service to get off the ground and get running. It will be a great help giving users a choice.
