Namibia : SPEEDLINK Lite introduced by Telecom Namibia
Publish Date : 24-Mar-2014
Telecom Namibia has declared the launch of its first ever Speedlink broadband packages for residential, small office/home (SOHO) and small enterprises, which offers a exciting plug-and-play Internet browsing experience with high speed broadband connectivity feature.
This broadband promotion, which begins tomorrow and ends 20 June 2014, is branded 'Speedlink Lite'. The new packages permits customers to connect fluently to Internet with different devices such as tablets, smartphone and laptops.
Speedlink Lite is made up of Speedlink Data (home and business) and Speedlink Data Professional with static IP address – both designed for customers who want seamless data-only usage.
Speedlink Data has a bandwidth speed of minimum 512kbps and maximum of 10 Mbps, whereas Speedlink Data Professional has speeds from 1Mbps up to 10 Mbps. Users can select any of the unlimited internet plans accordingly, as per their necessity.
The Speedlink Lite packages have 8 different data-only offerings with unlimited usage, giving customer more choice. Prices begins from N$245 a month for a 512k package up to N$4,048 for a 10 Mbps package for a 36-month contract.
Isak Ouseb, Senior Manager for Product Management said, "The new price points for all packages make data affordable for everyone to use to their desired content. Our customers can conveniently stay connected and download content throughout the day without feeling a strain on their pockets. We are confident that, with our reliable Internet connectivity across the country and now these affordable plans, we are greatly improving the value proposition to all of our customers".
The telecommunication giant will not offer customer premises equipment (CPE), meaning that customers will have the option to purchase own modem separately on cash or instalment for the new Speedlink Lite packages.
Ouseb said, "Customer will be provided with data/internet service only without any value added service". He said the new plans are based on customer demand for more data and faster speeds.
Telecom Namibia provides a range of Wi-Fi enabled CPEs with rich features allowing customers to connect to the Internet seamlessly with smartphones, tablets and laptops.
Ouseb said that people in the country are increasingly consuming the internet using their smartphone devices or tablets for surfing the web and staying in touch with family, friends or colleagues through emails, messengers or social networking sites.
He added, "Our new Speedlink Lite packages will target these specific requirements and continue to deliver great value to customers".
He added, "Activity such as watching videos on YouTube, exchanging files via Whatsapp or using certain apps all consume high amounts of data meaning customers require packages that can accommodate their data usage".
