DMSL is beating the drum about BT's new BTnet Local Access offering, hailing the product as an 'excellent margin-making opportunity' for resellers.

BTnet Local Access offers customers un-contended internet access with 10Mb of bandwidth with free connection for eligible services on a three-year contract. A managed router is also included in the price.BTnet is also offering high service levels with a target of 100 per cent availability and less than 20ms round trip transmission time in the UK, underwritten by a 'money back' guarantee for the service.

With BTnet Local Access, resellers can earn commissions of up to 10 per cent of the connection and rental charges for the first year of the contract, and up to 5 per cent of rental charges for the full term. Contracts can be for three or five years.

John Carter, managing director of DMSL - an Authorised Partner for BT - says that the offer is a great opportunity for the channel. "BTnet Local Access gives resellers the opportunity to provide a high-performance service to their customers and generates additional revenues and extra margins for their own business.

"The credit squeeze is hurting everyone and this is a good opportunity for customers to get a fully-guaranteed service with an excellent SLA and reduce their costs at the same time. We believe it is a highly attractive proposition for SMEs and we'll be supporting resellers that want to take it to their customers in every way we can."

BTnet Local Access is available to from more than 100 BT Points of Presence (POPs) positioned within the UK's main towns and cities. The service is available, subject to survey, on 10Mb, 30Mb and 100M BTnet bearers.
