Breeze is being considered as a break through in local Broadband Internet access, since for the first time users who do not normally use the Internet for long hours can start enjoying the benefits of Broadband Internet without committing themselves to a monthly rental fee. Pay-per-use broadband Internet services are only just being introduced on a world-wide basis, and Malta is once again at the forefront of such innovations.
Breeze is an ADSL-based Broadband Internet service provided by DataStream through different ISPs and allows users to access the Internet for a number of hours per month at broadband speeds without the need to pay a monthly fee.
This is ideal for users who:
• Use the Internet for around 1 hour a day
• Would like to pay only for the time spent on-line
• Would like to control their spending on Internet access
• The benefits offered by Breeze include:
• An access speed of 256kbps downstream from your Internet Service Provider and 128kbps upstream
• No monthly fees
• An hourly rate that does not vary with the time of day
Prices in which in many cases are actually cheaper than dial-up rates, when considering both the Internet access and the telephone charges
Commenting on the launch of this service, Godfrey Vella, Chief Executive Officer of DataStream Limited commented that “At DataStream we invested long hours of research and development to be able to offer this innovative service. We anticipate that on the strength of this service large numbers of dial-up Internet users can now start enjoying Broadband Internet at the same price, or even cheaper, than what they used to pay for their dial-up Internet service.
“Breeze falls in line with Data-Stream’s objectives to make Broadband available to all and also contributes towards reaching the targets indicated by the country with regards to Broadband Internet penetration,” concluded DataStream’s CEO.
As an introductory offer valid until the end of December, the Breeze broadband starter kit is being retailed for only Lm35 (VAT included) together with 100 hours of free ADSL access to be used over 60 days through Breeze.
