THUS plc (THUS) one of the UK's leading providers of voice, data, Internet and contact centre services, today urged consumers to shop around for ADSL broadband services.

Commenting on today's announcement from BT of a major advertising campaign to promote broadband services, THUS chief executive, Bill Allan, commented:

"A £33 million campaign designed to kick start the broadband market is likely to benefit all operators offering ADSL services, but it's important that consumers ensure they are getting value for money. BT are promoting a no frills service providing little more than access to web pages for £27 per month. Consumers might be interested to know that THUS, under its Demon brand, will provide that same web access, as well as web space for customer home pages, unlimited email addresses, a static IP address, an electronic fax service and comprehensive online and telephone support. All of this comes for £24.99 which we believe represents significantly better value for money."

"No frills might be OK for some, but sooner or later all Internet users are going to want to send an email. I can't see any reason to pay more for less."
