Up to 20Mbps broadband services
0845 058 9000
"Up to 20Mbps" has arrived – Zen Internet launches new faster broadband services
We are delighted to announce that our broadband download speed has increased to "up to 20Mbps" and our upload speed to "up to 1Mbps".
Needless to say there will be no changes to our one month rolling contract nor will we be charging any extra for the broadband speed increase. We never have, and never will, traffic shape a connection ensuring customers experience these faster speeds all day, every day.
New customers "how to order" information
New customers can sign up to one of our broadband services today by calling 0845 058 9000 to place your order, or alternatively you can order online.
So who can get these new faster services?
New customers that are connected to a BT 21st Century Network (21CN) enabled exchange will be on the "up to 20Mbps" broadband service straightaway. Today over 50% of UK homes and businesses are connected to 21CN enabled BT exchanges. BT aim to extend this to 75% by Spring 2011, depending on customer demand.
If you are not on a 21CN enabled exchange then your broadband speed will be "up to 8Mbps". Once your exchange is 21CN enabled the process will begin to move you onto the "up to 20Mbps" broadband services.
It is also important to remember that the broadband speed you can expect to receive will, as always, depend on the following factors:
- The distance you are from the local BT exchange
- The quality of wiring from the BT exchange to your premises
- The internal wiring within your premises and interference with any other electrical equipment within your premises
Based on the results of Zen's trials, it is estimated that the average download speeds will increase by 35%, with some trial users achieving over 20Mbps.
