Entanet announces its plans to expand ADSL 2+ broadband beyond WBC

Entanet, the leading broadband network provider that sells broadband services to the UK broadband providers on wholesale basis has announced that its ADSL 2+ based products (Entanet 2Plus Broadband) have received immense response from its partners while claiming many ADSL customers switched to ADSL 2+ broadband since the launch.
Many prominent ISPs in the UK now offer Entanet 2Plus Broadband which offer upto 24Mbps download speeds to their customers while a few ISPs are expected to launch high-speed broadband packages in near future. Further, a few ISPs who are not associated with Entanet broadband network are also set to launch ADSL 2+ products next month, according to the report.

Darren Farnden, the Marketing Manage of Entanet said:
“We expected the launch day to be very much an awareness raising event among partners, with our sales teams and marketing communications promoting the availability of Entanet 2Plus broadband.

However, we were delighted to see orders coming through immediately, with customers modifying their existing ADSL connection to ADSL2+. What’s more, some of these customers were even live on ADSL2+ within a couple of hours.”

Meanwhile, Entanet has also said that the deployment of BT’s Wholesale Broadband Managed Connect (WBMC) is expected to be completed by next year. This means, the ISPs that get broadband infrastructure through WBC will need to wait for another 12 months to supply ADSL 2+ broadband services to their customers.

Darren Farnden has further said:

"Taking WBC is a significant part of our strategy and puts us in an enviable position to launch both resale and wholesale ADSL2+ broadband to the market well ahead of CPs who are looking to offer services based on BT’s more restricted managed WBC platform.”
