No Unlimited Packages?

For an ISP, bandwidth is neither unlimited, and nor is it particularly cheap. ISP's that choose to operate with "unlimited" often hide behind loosely worded terms, heavy traffic shaping, and fair usage policies. Instead we adopt a capped model to ensure that our customers know exactly what they have purchased and what they can expect to receive. Why we don't offer unlimited BT Wholesale broadband connections

Elevated Traffic

Elevated traffic is a BT 21CN product that ensures you get at least 3Mbit/s for 90% of the time over the busiest 3-hour period. We apply this to all our 21CN business products as standard to ensure that you always receive the highest possible speeds. Elevated Traffic for Business Users
 

Unmetered Solutions for Heavy Users

For customers that would prefer access to an unmetered service we do offer a range of solutions which operate through Cable & Wireless Wholesale. Bypassing aspects of the BT Wholesale network ensures that these connections can be supplied without a fair usage policy or traffic shaping. Use our availability checker to see if you can receive this service for your line. However it should be noted that for customers who require premium broadband for their business we still recommend using these BT Wholesale based connections. READ MORE >>>
 

20CN and 21CN Products

We distinguish between the 20CN and 21CN exchange technologies in our pricing, as ultimately it affects our wholesale costs too. Please use our availability checker to confirm what products are available for your line. 20CN and 21CN Products
   
 

Customer Comments

Quote

I'd just like to say thank you. Every time I've asked a question, or had anything to discuss with you over the last year, I've always received a fast, polite, and informative reply.

I get the feeling that nothing is too much trouble, and I can actually talk to people who know exactly what's going on.

Well I take my hat off to the support! I had a tricky problem today (that resulted from my own incompetence) but the ICUK support helped me track it down.

My previous ISP would have told me to go away. 10/10 well done!
Jeff

Quote I've been with ICUK now for over 3 years and have received a nothing but a perfect service. Your speeds have been consistently fast throughout the day and your panel allows me to easily keep track on my usage. I'm constantly hearing of other ISP's failing my friends, so hats off, I'm very happy!

Business ADSL Broadband (20CN Enabled Exchanges)

If your exchange is enabled for 21CN (see our checker for confirmation) then the following prices aren't applicable to you. However, if your exchange hasn't been enabled yet, you will still be connected to 20CN exchange equipment, and the following pricing applies. As soon as your exchange is enabled for 21CN our support teams will contact you to notify you of an upgrade path.

21CN and 20CN Pricing Differences

There are two types of BT Wholesale technology - one is called 21CN and the other 20CN. As the name suggests, the 21CN technology is newer and offers the consumer access to higher speeds, and for an ISP, lower wholesale pricing. In order to provide our customers with the very best pricing, we are now splitting our 21CN and 20CN products and pricing, as up until now we have been offering a blended rate. However, now that over 75% of our customers are connected through 21CN exchanges it makes sense that we make the differences visible for new and existing users.

You can check to see what products are available from your local exchange using our broadband availability checker. Please CLICK HERE to run the test using your phone number or post code.


Differences Between Home & Business Broadband

ADSL Availability

Higher Upload Speeds

Regardless of whether you are able to receive the 21CN or 20CN products, the upload speeds you will receive on our business products are significantly higher than those of the Home equivalents. On 21CN they can be upto 1.3Mbps, and the 20CN product delivers upto 832Kbps.

 
ADSL Availability

Elevated Traffic

Is an additional paid for service specific to the 21CN connections which we include as standard with our business broadband connection. The elevated traffic service ensures you get at least 3Mbit/s for 90% of the time over the busiest 3-hour period. It ensures your business, and its connection doesn't slow when you need it the most.

   
Prioritised Support

Prioritised Support

At ICUK we recognise the importance of broadband connections to modern businesses. When you report a fault we will do our best to ensure that it is dealt with as a priority internally to minimise disruption to your business. For the ultimate in response times, not from ICUK, but BT Wholesale, we strongly recommend you consider purchasing the Enhanced Care service to guarantee the quickest responses from our wholesale suppliers.

Migration
FREE
It is free to migrate your existing broadband connection across to ICUK.
Migration from LLU Provider
£30
If our ADSL checker shows that your existing broadband connection is supplied through an LLU provider, an additional fee is applicable to migrate to us. This charge covers the additional costs we incur to move your connection from an LLU providers equipment back to BT Wholesale. This fee is subsidised by ICUK.

£30
When a phone line doesn't currently support broadband, then this activation cost would be applicable. This fee is subsidised by ICUK.
Fast Track Activation
£150
If you are in a rush for your broadband connection then there is a fast track order process which is applicable to new activation orders only. Most fast track orders complete within 24-48 hours of them being placed. This fee is in addition to the standard activation cost.

Canceling and Modify Orders

Additional Data Transfer (per GB)
£1.50

In the event you are predicted to exceed your download limits we would send you warning emails. These will contain the following options:

  1. Allow the connection to be speed limited. No additional charges would be applicable for the remainder of the calendar month.
  2. Upgrade the data cap to the next level.
  3. Pay for an excess data transfer and no be speed limited.

It is the latter option where this would be applicable.

Modify
£11
Changing your data cap (eg Option 1 to Option 2) doesn't incur a cost. However, if you wish to change the type of connection (eg Home to Business) then this fee is applied as a one-off cost.
Cease
£24.74
In the event you cease a broadband connection then BT Wholesale apply this fee to remove broadband from a line. It is not applicable if you simply migrate to another provider. It is, however, applicable if you cease your phone line, or you wish to remove broadband completely off the line. ICUK does not profit from this charge, we simply pass it across at cost.

Enhanced Care Option - £15 Per Month

This solution is indispensable to any business that relies heavily on their broadband connectivity. Likewise if you only have a single broadband feed into your business, you are effectively left with a vulnerable single point of failure. Although this doesn't prevent disruption to your business in the event of a failure, it does ensure the swiftest possible response to resolve it.

Broadband Enhanced Care offers a 20 clock hour clear within BT Wholesale, a 4 hour response time, and is supported by an improved Service Level Guarantee. Out of hours engineering visits to site may be used to complete a repair if unrestricted access is available.

Broadband Enhanced Care offers a four hour response to reported faults and a Service Level Guarantee that an End User Access fault will be cleared within 20 clock hours of the service provider reporting it to the Service Management Centre (SMC). To achieve this, BT will ensure that engineers are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to repair any End User Access fault covered by this product, providing that unrestricted access to the End User's premises is available.

Broadband Enhanced Care enables service providers to offer their customers a guaranteed 24 hour fault clearance promise, differentiating their products by offering an improved level of service. If this target is not met, ICUK will pay compensation of 50 per cent of the monthly End User Access rental. The guarantee will apply to each failure.
