In a bid to offer the most cost-effective broadband packages in
what is a very competitive market, Orange is for a limited period
to make significant discounts to the price of its Business
Everywhere mobile broadband packages.
Until 31 July 2009, existing SME voice customers who take on a
new
Business Everywhere
plan will receive a discount of up to 50%. This says Orange will
give such companies unlimited
mobile broadband access from just £7.50 a month. Separately,
all new customers who sign up during this time will receive a £5
discount on their bill every month, meaning unlimited mobile
broadband will be priced from £10 a month.
After 31 July 2009, business customers will be offered Business
Everywhere Unlimited packages for £15 a month on a 24 month
contract or Business Everywhere Traveller, which includes a 25
Mbyte roaming allowance for £35.
The offer also
includes
HSUPA mobile broadband devices for business that are claimed to
enable customers to send information up to four times faster than
existing 3G+ devices. Supporting download speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps,
products in the range include the ZTE MF636 dongle, the Huawei E870
PC Express Card and the Option GX301 PCMCIA Card.
All business devices come with a Business Everywhere connection
manager that provides IT administration and corporate security
features which, for larger businesses in particular, says the
operator, offer features and customisation unique to the
market.
“Mobile broadband has really taken off across all industries and
business sizes. In fact, our own research shows that a key driver
for customers adopting mobile broadband has been the growing desire
to stay in control and stay on top of business opportunities, while
on the move if necessary. Not only have our price plans been
restructured to help make mobile broadband even more affordable,
but a fresh range of three new devices offer a more secure,
accessible and hassle-free way of working on the move,” explained
Paul Tollet, Vice President Business, Orange UK.
