Fasthosts Internet, a Web hosting and Internet services provider, has launched a new array of ADSL packages specifically designed for business needs.

The new broadband range is faster and feature-packed, with a 24Mb entry-level package, said the company.

A new fibre optic package offers up to 40Mb downloads, over seven times faster than the UK average, enabling businesses to increase productivity and fully benefit from hosted services and cloud computing, the company said.

The Fasthosts Business Broadband range now comprises: the entry-level ADSL Lite (with 20GB monthly usage), unlimited plans ADSL Premium, ADSL 2 Plus, all featuring a download speed of up to 24Mb.

In addition, the new unlimited flagship VDSL Premium package, uses fibre optic technology to deliver up to a massive 40Mb download connection, up to 10Mb upload speeds, and packages benefit from free set-up, and up to 2 static IP addresses.

Fasthosts Internet marketing director Steve Holford said many businesses prefer a one-stop-shop approach to buying their Internet services.

"For some, that means making-do with either sub-standard hosting or ADSL bolted-on by their ISP; With Fasthosts firms can benefit from truly business-class broadband alongside high performance and award-winning UK hosting services," Holford said.
