2002

December 4, 2002 - THUS plc, one of the UK's leading providers of voice, networking, Internet and contact centre services, today announced the launch of Demon Express Total, a complete self-install ADSL solution for home workers that is provided with an Alcatel SpeedTouch 330 USB modem. Demon Express Total compliments THUS's existing range of ADSL products for SOHO1, SME and corporate customers and reinforces the position of its Demon-branded UK ISP as the premier provider of broadband to the business market.

"Self-install broadband has been the key to encouraging widespread adoption of broadband by cutting the cost of connections and removing some of the delays associated with installation," said Phil Male, Chief Operating Officer at THUS. "The availability of more reliable and user-friendly modems like the SpeedTouch 330 makes self-install the logical choice for homeworkers."

"The SpeedTouch 330 is one of the easiest-to-install ADSL modems on the market making it the ideal choice for single PC-users," he continued. "By offering an ADSL package with a bundled modem we can offer an even greater level of customer care and better assist customers with their connection. The SpeedTouch 330 is provided with easy-to-install software that enables customers to be up and running in no time at all, ensuring a true plug-and-play customer experience."

Demon Express Total provides permanent Internet access and comes with a bundled modem for easier connection to the Internet. With high bandwidth capability of up to 500kb/s downstream and 250kb/s upstream, Demon Express Total will enable customers to spend less time waiting for downloads and more time working.

Key benefits of Demon Express Total include:

• rapid download times, enabling businesses to receive information significantly faster and cheaper than via a dial-up connection
• a complete solution with market-leading SpeedTouch 330 USB modem
• a competitive connection fee, and affordable monthly bill of £24.99, regardless of hours spent online
• an electronic fax, no need to pay for additional equipment or a dedicated phone line
• simultaneous access to the Internet and a telephone or fax line
• unmetered Internet access, meaning no surprise bills and enabling more effective budgetary control.
