Dublin, Ireland, April 2009 – Smart Telecom has today launched two new business products aimed at bringing Ireland out of the broadband dark ages and offering amazing value for money. Smart is also announcing today that it is now to offer full voice and broadband services nationwide, from all eircom exchanges for both Business and residential customers.

In the 37 exchanges that Smart have unbundled, Smart will offer business customers up to 24Mbps Broadband services, with no usage limits or contention for a mere €24 per month, excluding VAT***. In over 300 other exchanges nationwide, Smart will offer up to 24Mbps for €49 per month, ex VAT*** again, with no usage limits.

Also from today, Smart will offer full nationwide voice and broadband residential services, starting at 3Mbps from over 700 national exchanges. All broadband packages will include an unlimited download allowance**. Packages of 3Mbps broadband, line rental, local and national calls will start at just €47.49 per month, including VAT.  Full details of all products are available at our new website www.smarttelecom.ie or by calling 1850 945 549

Commenting on the launch, John Quinn, development director said “Today marks the entry of Smart Telecom into the national voice and internet market. For Business customers our 24Mbps products starting at just €24 per month sets the standard for price and performance. We are focusing on high quality products, with unlimited usage at very competitive prices. With the recent launch of RTE’s new media player we expect bandwidth and usage to greatly increase in Ireland and we aim to lead this market. We have set the entry bar for residential services at 3Mbps as we feel that 1Mbps is no longer relevant in the global broadband debate.”
