To celebrate the launch of a new decade, Sky Digital TV is going out with the old, and in with the new!

That’s right, you can now get the Be broadband Value package for just £7.50 a month! This unbelievable deal is the first ever broadband service for under £8 with no traffic shaping. The package features -

• £7.50 a Month!
• Up to 8MB Download Speed
• Up to 1.3MB Upload Speed
• Up to 40GB Download Allowance
• No traffic shaping
• 12 Month Contract

Be Broadband has performed a series of extensive customer feedback tests over the last 6 months and have responded with this groundbreaking package deal. Due to the popular demand for it’s 2009 half-price offer, Be’s new pricing structure allows the provider to continue to offer no traffic shaping and treat all flow equally, unlike many providers who slow certain activities for specific customers at peak times.

Tom Williams, Head of Operations at BE, said

The trends we’re seeing are for no traffic management allowing more freedom and of course lower prices. Our members demand the freedom to prioritise and think for themselves, not have their broadband provider do it for them. We believe there a lot of customers that will leap at the chance to get a service that doesn’t slow down based on the content of their downloads but don’t use the internet enough to justify an unlimited product.

With downloads of up to 40GB each month, customers will be contacted by Be broadband representatives if they use more than their allowance to help stop any surprise bills. Another reason to choose Be Broadband’s award winning service, where the customer comes first.

BE Broadband has announced they will be providing free broadband for local communities across the UK for people who are currently without existing connections in the UK. This groundbreaking initiative will be run in tandem with Freerunner, who ran a competition in September 2009 to help provide a minimum of 3 years worth of free WiFi in hotspots across the UK.

CEO of Freerunner, Owen Geddes, said -

We are very excited to have BE on board as our first corporate partner. BE will be providing a broadband connection to those that don’t have any connection at all, completely free of charge as part of this project. It is incredible to think that a small piece of relatively low cost technology is going to fundamentally change nearly 50 communities across the UK.

Freerunner is using other technologies alongside BE Broadband to connect remote communities and those with very little signal who desperately need access to the internet.The communities selected as part of a competition will now be able receive the internet, and for free!

Head of Operations at BE Broadband, Tom Williams, said -

We’re proud to be part of the Freerunner missions and agree that WiFi should be more widely available. Freerunner’s attitude reminds me of what BE did for broadband when we created the first UK ADSL 2+ network. Our members are more likely to hang out in independent shops and cafes, so we’re proud to hook up Freerunner communities with fast and unlimited broadband.

The Virgin Media bundle package will soon feature brand new Tivo technology to take their latest generation TV to the next level. Already a huge hit in  the U.S, Tivo developed the first ever digital video recorder, and has agreed to exclusively partner Virgin Media in helping strategically advance their TV service.

The agreement will see TiVo develop a television and broadband interactive interface to help power Virgin Media’s new HD boxes. The exclusive deal will also see Virgin Media become the exclusive distributor of TiVo services in the UK.

CEO of Virgin Media, Neil Berkett,  said

TiVo’s proven track record of innovation, strength of its patented technology and experience in developing best in class user environments, make it an ideal strategic partner for Virgin Media as we move aggressively to bring our next generation TV service to market. The superiority of our fibre optic network combined with TiVo’s capabilities, will allow us to offer consumers the most significantly advanced and compelling TV service available in the UK , and we believe will do to the TV market what Virgin Media has done to thehigh speed broadband market.

The new TV platform will allow Virgin Media to offer a superior viewing experience whilst allowing customers to search and discover ‘video on demand’, helping to create the ultimate home entertainment system.

The first Virgin Media/TiVo co-branded product is due for release in 2010, and is sure to be a huge hit in the UK after the success of Virgin’s quad play broadband, TV, phone and mobile bundle. Virgin Media TV is already the UK’s most advanced ‘on demand’ service and with the addition of Tivo to the team, it looks like their portfolio is only going to go from strength to strength.
