14 DAY TRIAL // UK is about to get its first 24Mbps broadband speed and Be is the one to thank for this gift to the British.
The company will begin the implementation of the local loop unbundling (LLU) in London and Be claims that by using ADSL2+ technology it will manage to keep costs very low.
?The deregulation of the market makes this a very exciting time for the UK and Be is here to make the most of it, offering customers the full capability of ADSL2+ from launch,? he said. ?There is no reason to drag out the increase in speed and launch in steps of 1 meg or 2 meg when the capability is there to offer the maximum speeds available - which is what Be is all about.?, said Be's founder, Boris Ivanovic.
Although ADSL2+ promises 24Mbps by using existent copper wires, this speed is only available to those homes and businesses within a short walk of their exchanges.
Users will switch to ADSL2+ only if the company offers extremely low prices, otherwise they won?t give up their standard ADSL
