Tiscali Broadband, currently the UK’s 4th biggest ISP with over two million subscribers, have announced they fully expect to sell their UK Broadband operation within two years. Having just reported their first net profit in ten years, Tiscali Broadband is currently not for sale, though they are sitting nice and ripe for a takeover. This is partly due to their current market leading TV, internet and phone bundle which cost only £19.99 a month. The last few years has seen most medium sized ISP’s such as Bulldog and Plusnet absorbed by the big boys, and chief executive Tommaso Pompei is not intending to fight the trend.

“We do expect to be part of this process. We’ll be 100% focused on our own results this year, but are preparing to react should the consolidation take place”

This comes at a time when the market is being dominated by four aggressive main players, who all have the ability to offer not just internet access, but also satellite and cable TV, landlines and mobile phones, all for one package price. BT Total Broadband and Virgin Media share over 7 million customers between them, but hot on their heel are Sky and Carphone Warehouse, who have appeared from nowhere and share nearly 4 million users, having only offered internet access in the last two years.

Virgin Media have announced the signing of a 5 year, £98milllion contract with BT Wholesale to handle and maintain their network switch to internet telephony (VoIP). The deal itself will include the transfer of nearly 200 members of Virgin Media staff to BT Wholesale, along with current Virgin third party suppliers.

Speaking for Virgin Media, managing director of networks, Paul Weir, said: “By utilising BT Wholesale we gain operational cost efficiencies ahead of the network’s eventual upgrade to Voice over Internet Protocol technology, whilst maintaining an excellent level of service for our customers.”

Virgin Media’s voice switching service currently handles around 20% of the UK’s landline phones.

Virgin Media bundles are increasing the savings you can make online by offering £10 offer per product / service (excluding mobile phones). That means you can sign up for their 3 for £30 broadband, TV and landline phone package and save £10 on each - that’s a saving of £30!

With the broadband market becoming more and more competitive (o2 broadband launches soon of course!) each provider is trying to steal a march on the rest of the market. Virgin Media who were the original “quad play” kids have brought in this saving, Tiscali have launched their TV service and Be Broadband have slashed their prices to make their 24 Meg broadband package available for just £18 and saving of £6 a month.

In his first speech as Competitiveness minister (sounds like a good job doesn’t it?) Stephen Timms has said that the UK needs to look at our current levels of broadband provision and make plans for the future to ensure that we don’t get left behind by other countries who are investing heavily in their telecommunications infrastructure to provide super fast broadband.

Timms previous post was as the e-commerce minister and he was key in pushing the UK’s broadband provision, indeed if you think of the speeds we were used to 5 years ago when dial up was still prevalent he certainly did a good job there! In a speech to the Broadband Stakeholder Group (BSG), he highlighted the issues facing the UK  when he said “other countries are starting to invest in new, fibre based infrastructure, delivering considerably higher bandwidth than is available in the UK today”.

Virgin Mediacontinue to upgrade their cable broadband service to the target speed of 50MB with beta tests being carried out on lucky customers areas including Dover, Ashford and Folkestone. Public trials are reported to begin next month in selected areas of Kent with fees expected to be in the region of £47 a month for 50Meg broadband. This may prove prohibitive for many home users but individuals and businesses that have a need to upload and download large amounts of data will be licking their lips in anticipation! (more…)

Wireless BroadbandIf you’re anything like me then you’ve got a huge bundled knot of indeterminate wires hidden behind your TV, under your desk and behind the sofa – out of sight, out of mind and as soon as a new item of electrical equipment is purchased the connecting cables seem to breed with the rest of the wires in the house and are literally and metaphorically swept under the carpet.  Aside from numerous other benefits to going ‘wireless broadband’ this is one very good reason to either spring clean your internet connection and upgrade to a new broadband provider which includes a wireless router or simply treat yourself to one of the many wireless routers available as a standalone purchase.
