UK Online

UK Online was founded in 1994 to deliver dial-up internet services to UK consumers before becoming one of the UK's most successful internet service providers. UK Online was and is a pioneer in Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) and was the first provider to offer speeds of up to 22Mb. Its commitment to LLU was recognised by the ISP industry with a Commend... ation for Innovation at the 2005 ISPA Awards. UK Online was acquired in 2005 by the British Sky Broadcasting group, which has a total market capitalisation in excess of £9bn. As part of the Sky group, UK Online has access to a unique heritage and a world class IP network. In 2007, UK Online re-emerged as a leading provider of professional broadband solutions, in particular for the one to 10 employee business sector. UK Online understands that small or "micro" businesses have very different needs to consumers and larger small businesses. The company offers three simple packages aimed at people wanting a high quality professional broadband service for home, work or business use. Its flagship product, 'Premier', offers up to 16Mb downloads and 1Mb uploads at £24.99 inc VAT a month. As well as the highest speeds, it also includes a free domain name, business quality email, static IP and webspace. UK Online appreciates that small businesses and high recreational users are very reliant on their broadband and want to be online 24 hours a day, seven days a week - UK Online offers a 24/7 UK based dedicated freephone technical support service across all three of its packages. With a reputation for excellent customer service, all UK Online support is provided in the UK with quick access to knowledgeable and experience professionals. UK Online's customer research shows that eight out of ten of its customers would recommend UK Online to a friend or colleague. UK Online's services are available to 70% of UK homes and businesses. In areas outside of its network footprint, it offers national coverage broadband services.Read More
