Jomble’s broadband Kent services make model for national revolution
(PRWeb UK) August 29, 2010
Jomble’s broadband Kent services have revolutionised the county’s businesses by offering a unique, business only area of the Internet, in which companies can upload and download, enjoy dedicated web site space, and host up to 50 company email accounts – without a single speck of domestic traffic slowing everything down. That’s unheard of. In normal circumstances, even the most apparently impressive business broadband providers Kent usually sees (the same broadband providers the rest of the country is still stuck with) advertise upload and download speeds they can never achieve, and choke all their business network space with overflow domestic traffic. Jomble, obviously not afraid to do things differently, has bought up and sectioned off an area of the county’s broadband network, which it is leasing to businesses only.
That leasing is done on a remarkable basis. The key points of Jomble’s strategy, which are clearly designed as an antidote to everything that is bad about normal broadband Kent supply, are: 60Gb per month usage; 24MBps download; 1.3MBps upload; UK support; a monthly rolling contract; 50 email accounts; a free web address; a fixed IP address; and a backup dial in service. Read aloud, it’s like one is listing all the things normal business broadband providers Kent don’t do. Embarrassing for all broadband for business providers Kent has had to put up with to date: great, though, for Kent. Whose businesses are flexing their wings in the newfound freedom of Jomble’s Internet reservation.
Unless one owns a business oneself, it’s difficult to appreciate the full extent of the problem that exists when mainstream broadband providers fill up their line space with domestic users. We all know that domestic broadband use causes actual download speeds across the country to plummet during peak use times. It’s called “fair usage” by the service providers, which is a corporate excuse for charging everyone full whack for a service that will never be delivered. The service could be delivered, technically, if only a few people were using the lines – but millions? That effect is doubly felt by the poor users of broadband Kent services, whose businesses are hampered time and time again by crushingly slow uploads, downloads and even email sends. When millions of users are shunted onto a business line by a mainstream provider claiming to be doling out “fair usage”, we’re all in trouble.
Jomble’s neat sidestep of this might, one hopes, be the beginning of a real revolt. When other businesses in the UK see what the broadband business providers Kent has been waiting for are doing, they’ll be up in arms, demanding to know why their own providers aren’t doing the same thing. How that will all pan out is anyone’s guess – but, for now, Jomble finds itself on top of the pile and mainstream broadband Kent providers have a lot of questions to answer. Good luck to them: they’ll need it.
Jomble is a new business broadband provider, whose single price tariff allows all users access to incredible monthly usage limits and super fast speed
