All too often those looking for broadband-esque service stop or become
disheartened after finding out they can either only get 512Kbps, or find
out they cannot get ADSL at all. Overlooked in the past is an emerging
technology called WiMax, and today, Telabria, a Kent based company has
come out of trial, and announced the launch of its SkyLink service,
offering asymmetrical and symmetrical services with speeds of up to
10Mbps for the Kent area. |

Telabria’s asymmetrical service, ideally suited to the home user, is
available at either 1.5Mbps or 3Mbps downstream speeds for £24.99 or
£34.99 respectively (inclusive of VAT). Both services come with 512Kbps,
which is typically twice that what is currently available on the BT
network (although BT are trialing 8Mbps down, 832Kbps up).
Those looking for something a little faster need look at the ISPs
Business range, offering symmetrical 1.5Mbps & 3Mbps (20:1 contention)
£49.99, and £79.99 (plus VAT and setup costs). Amazingly, SkyLinks
Business 3Mbps symmetrical service, is not only 50% faster than the
fastest available through BTs SDSL service, but at just 75% of the cost
too.
At the top end of the scale comes SkyLinks symmetrical 10Mbps option
which costs £369 per month (plus VAT and setup costs). The latter,
whilst not exactly pocket money seems to offer allot of speed, far far
beyond that currently available from any other SDSL. Additionally, the
service is contended at a nice low 10:1 ratio, plus remember, this is
symmetrical - so thats 10Mbps upstream as well as down.
For those unlucky enough to be unable to get ADSL in the Kent area (Telabria
tell us that just 16% of exchanges are enabled in the area) then SkyLink
certainly is a very real, and for the consumer at least, very affordable
option, which should not be overlooked because its WiMax - but
considered because it is! |
