Faster broadband service for Welsh businesses

Internet solutions provider Vaioni has launched a new, higher speed broadband service for businesses in Wales, reports ispreview.co.uk.

Offered in partnership with Fibrespeed, businesses will have access to connection speeds of ten megabits per second (Mbps) through a layer 2-based fibre optic service.

Prices will begin at £450 a month plus VAT and could help firms to become more competitive in both the local region and potentially on a global scale, while also facilitating communications systems such as VoIP solutions.

Sachin Vaish, from Vaioni, told the website: "We are working closely with our suppliers to ensure the service not only hits the mark from a quality point of view, but also from a cost point of view. In the next few weeks we will look to release 100Mb and 1Gb service options too."

There is intense pressure on ISPs to invest in high-speed broadband networks, to ensure the UK remains globally competitive.

Virgin Media recently launched a 50Mbps service, while rival BT is to invest £1.5 billion in new infrastructure.
