T-Com launches symmetrical DSL service

Budapest, August 1, 2007 13:00

From August 1 T-Com offers Symmetrical DSL business service for small- and medium-size enterprises. The strengths of the new service are identical download and upload rates and flat-rate price regardless of total usage time and traffic carried.

Unlike ADSL and TDSL the symmetrical DSL service offers identical download and upload rates. This can be important for companies that offer content services, operate corporate management systems requiring independent server or operate their own mail server. The service is ideal also for multi-site companies where users connect to the central servers via the internet. It can be an excellent solution also for enterprises processing large volumes of data for their operations, e.g. graphics studios, publication editing, construction and investment project management companies or tourism enterprises. T-Com offers symmetrical DSL business packages with the excellent quality parameters available also with the ADSL service.

From August 1, T-Com offers symmetrical DSL business packages with 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps rates. The service provider guarantees in both packages upload rates identical with the download rates (1 Mbps or 2 Mbps). This rate enables efficient uploading: while an average ADSL package enables the upload of a 500 MB file in more than 4 hours, with symmetrical DSL of 2 Mbps rate this takes no more than half an hour. T-Com offers with the internet access that serves high upload needs 5 e-mail addresses with a total of 500 MB space and 50 MB webspace. The packages are offered for a flat rate that does not depend on the total time of usage and the traffic carried so enterprises can plan their Internet costs. The service includes the terminal equipment needed for using it and T-Com offers with the symmetrical DSL business packages optional fixed IP address, too. If ordered by October 1, no connection fee will be charged on the symmetrical DSL 1 Mbps and symmetrical DSL 2 Mbps packages, and a reduced monthly fee (starting from HUF 30,000) will apply. When existing fixed line is used T-Com will grant further reduction of the symmetrical Internet access prices, which offer is unique in the market.

T-Com's symmetrical DSL service is available in 18 districts in Budapest and in 76 cities countrywide. Magyar Telekom also offers the symmetrical DSL service through its Internet service provider partners.
