Broad tie on his most narrow (encore)

It its strange times. Politicians take promises that they swallow must single weeks later on probably. Voetballers have to play no sense more for their national team. And internetproviders come on the balls with broad tie formulas that they first only nothing found.

For months has Telenet obstinately maintained that it in us land no market was for” broad tie light”; a subscription for dull people, as myself, that not so much surfing and download. And that their expensive broad tie products love will many men the Internet, wanted not they already totally said have.

How we came included. Is” the brake on the use of the Internet in our country not the price of broad tie”, told the spokeswoman. Meanwhile one took that by Telenet a remarkable curve. For a few weeks ago the cable business launched then really ComfortNet, a formula for 29.95 Euros per month with slower surfing and less download. Telenet follows finally really the example of single smaller providers that came before already with a similar offer on the market.

But the strongest push followed two working days later on then Belgacom on its turn ADSL Light launched. At the same time a sample copy crack/most level-management. For there are notably little differences between the light-offer of the two players.

As source ADSL Light of Belgacom as a Com-fortNet of Telenet costs 29.95 Euros per month. Also the speeds is exact the same: 512 Kbps of the network to the user (3.3 Mbps for the ADSL-basis version) and 128 Kbps in the opposite direction. The most important difference however the monthly volume is of the about to bring data. By ADSL Light is that maximum 400 MB against 200 MB by ComfortNet. Already in both cases, source megabytes can become bijgekocht.

Do” Belgacom set attack in on Telenet with derision good buy light-offer” I wanted to stand the day afterwards on the front page of my paper. A little bit a bent title. For an attack on the competition will not fixed name I the Belgacom-offer thus.
