Plus the new “ValuePlus” service brings a whole new value package: with ValuePlus, just as with Value, there is a monthly data allowance or quota. But after this quota is used, there is unlimited follow-on data so the user always remains online at the basic speed of up to 256kbps. 1GB TopUps are also available to boost the speed back up if required. Existing customers of all current BeyonDSL/ASTRA2Connect systems on 23.5° East have a 6Mbps ValuePlus package to upgrade to if they wish. BeyonDSL has, with ASTRA Broadband Services, developed a new type of package called ValuePlus to improve the value and flexibility of satellite broadband for customers. “We are very pleased to announce this upgrade in both speed and value for our services.” said Mike Locke, MD of BeyonDSL. He continued “since launch in 2009, speed has tripled and new types of service enhancements mean satellite’s value has never been better.” "We are continuously enhancing our satellite broadband internet service ASTRA2Connect." said Patrick Biewer, Managing Director of ASTRA Broadband Services. "Our development roadmap indicates speeds of 16 to 20 Mbps by 2015 and foresees the introduction of Ka-band services to keep ASTRA2Connect at the competitive edge of the market." The new services are available immediately online at www.satelliteinternet.co.uk
