UK Broadband - the wholly owned subsidiary of Hong Kong telecoms giant PCCW - has finally launched its wireless broadband service in the UK. The Netvigator service is to be made available in the Thames Valley first, in Aldershot, Maidenhead, Reading, Slough, Windsor and Wokingham.
UK Broadband is to announce plans to roll out the service in the UK and Northern Ireland once the initial launch of Netvigator has been completed. Its 512k service costs £18, while the 1Mb service costs £28 a month and there don't appear to be any up-front charges. However, if punters want the wireless broadband service installed by an engineer then it will set them back £50. A replacement modem costs £75. Said UK Broadband chief exec Mike Butcher: "This is truly revolutionary as it allows customers to install their broadband service within minutes and offers dedicated service with very high speed access.
