Entanet is to offer a portfolio of ADSL2+ products based on BT's Wholesale Broadband Connect (WBC) to the UK channel when it launches its 2Plus range on Tuesday 15 July.

The new services give resellers the ability to offer end user customers a variety of broadband package options, with the added flexibility of bandwidth top-ups and free unlimited access during off-peak hours.

Entanet's 2Plus products provide broadband at ADSL2+ speeds in a range of eight bandwidth allowance options - from 3GB up to 250GB per month - giving channel resellers the opportunity to compete in the UK's broadband market, from entry level upwards.

Entanet is providing unlimited access during its 1am to 7am off-peak hours (as long as the EU's monthly allowance or any top-up is in credit). Monthly allowances and any top-ups are only used during peak hours (7am to 1am) every day. Furthermore, the company is maintaining its minimum 30 day contract policy and is also continuing to allow migrations to its products free of charge (with the exception of migrations from LLU).

Entanet's Head of Marketing, Darren Farnden, said: "This portfolio comes as a result of the wealth of experience we've gathered about end users' existing broadband usage and also consultation with our channel partners. Our decision to take WBC means we're able to deliver both resale and wholesale ADSL2+ services that put our partners in a very competitive position."

Entanet's strategy has required significant investment in both its 21CN-based infrastructure and its operations. In order to create products based on WBC it is building out its existing UK network to cover all of the 20 primary nodes on BT's 21C network. "Initially we're using gigabit multi-service interconnect links (MSILs) at each of the nodes to take delivery of individual connections onto our own network" said Farnden. "As capacity requirements increase these will be upgraded to 10Gbps connections."
