07 July, 2004:
The number of active broadband ADSL Internet connections in the Czech
Republic exceeded 30,000 last week. Cesky Telecom’s ‘Internet Express’
service, which was introduced to the market in May, comprises an
outstanding share of these connections.
“Internet
Express constitutes 85% of all orders for broadband Internet from CESKY
TELECOM’s portfolio and 68% of all orders on the Czech market,” stated
David Duron, chief marketing officer. “In order to meet customer
demand, we have decided to extend the advantageous offer of Internet
Express for 999 Korunas until the end of this month”, added Mr. Duron.
Since 12
May, 8,700 customers have ordered Internet Express. Of these
subscribers, roughly 90% were new broadband Internet users.
For 999
Korunas, Internet Express combines a high-speed Internet connection
with very attractive calling rates. The connection through this service
is available for a monthly fee and has no time or data limits. Cesky
Telecom is now offering broadband Internet in most regions of the Czech
Republic and has a potential coverage of almost 64% of all telephone
lines. By the end of this year, Internet Express availability will
expand further to approximately 180 new localities.
Internet
Express offers broadband Internet access at a favourable price that
includes the monthly fee for one of two very attractive pricing
programs. The first program is Telefon Universal, which features the
most favourable minutely rate for calling anywhere (from CZK0,59
without VAT). Depending on the type of call, savings can be as much as
64 percent in comparison with the ordinary Telefon 70 or Home Standard
programs. The second option is the Telefon Universal Dialog program,
with the newest method of billing for calls to all fixed lines in the
Czech Republic: it does not matter how long a customer calls for, nor
does it matter whether they are calling local or long-distance, or
during peak or off-peak hours. For every call made anywhere and at any
time, the subscriber pays only CZK 9,90 without VAT (for the first hour
of the call).
