Telkom has launched its Business Uncapped Internet usage plan, filling out its range of uncapped Internet products catering to the small business market.
“Business Uncapped consists of a range of affordable uncapped internet offers suitable for small offices with up to five users,” says Carel Booysen, executive: business broadband and Internet at Telkom.
“The idea is to give small businesses priority on the network during office hours, allowing for an uncapped internet experience suitable for business essential internet functions like browsing, email and file transfer.”
This is part of the ongoing revitalisation of Telkom Internet to offer Internet products suited to either business or home users, at more affordable rates.
“Business customers can now use bandwidth intensive applications like ‘sync and share’ and remote backup, enjoying prioritised e-mail, browsing and software as a service,” adds Booysen.
This latest product inclusion is the middle-of-the-range offering in Telkom Business’ broadband portfolio suitable for customers seeking a product that resides between the Business SoftCapped and Premium Uncapped offers.
With SoftCapped, customers can still access the internet for browsing local and international web sites even after they reach their usage limit. However, services like streaming and peer-to-peer are significantly restricted.
Premium Uncapped offers customers multiple concurrent users and high performance with prioritisation over the network at any time of the day. It also includes up to 40Mbps access speeds in areas where Telkom has deployed MSANs.
Broadband is a key component of Telkom’s journey to convergence; a key strategic imperative for Telkom Business.
“Given that we are in the digital era and part of the information age, it is important that small businesses, equip themselves with suitable products that allow for optimum productivity and convenience while still remaining cost effective,” Booysen says.
