ToucanSurf Internet access
4/11/04
Toucan is pleased to announce the launch of ToucanSurf, which it
believes to be the most comprehensive and easy-to-use portfolio of
domestic Internet access options available in the UK. ToucanSurf
options include two “Talk ‘n’ Surf” Voice & Broadband bundles,
combining unlimited calls to UK landlines with unlimited surfing.
The entry level “Talk ‘n’ Surf” broadband bundle offers voice calls
plus broadband at 512Kbps, 10 times the speed of standard dial-up, for
just £29.99 a month. The second “Talk ‘n’ Surf” bundle features 1Mbps
broadband — 20 times the speed of dial-up — for only £34.99 a month.
Toucan Managing Director Joseph Blass commented: “ToucanTalk
“All-You-Can” was the UK’s first fixed-fee domestic phone service to
break the £10 monthly charge barrier. Now, we’re extremely pleased to
be offering a Calls-plus-Broadband package for under £30 a month. And
the announcement of the new Talk ‘n’ Surf bundles means even greater
value for our customers.”
ToucanSurf is the latest addition to the Toucan range of consumer
telecoms services, and includes four core broadband options, ranging
from 150Kbps to 1Mbps to meet the needs of every home user, from light
surfers to the serious Internet enthusiast. Two 56Kbps dial-up options
are also available, together with a Voice/Unmetered Dial-up access
bundle for only £19.99 a month.
Marc Bodner, Managing Director of IDT Europe, adds: “It’s more than
five years since Internet access in the home started to become
commonplace in the UK. But most providers to date have designed
services which are not consumer-friendly. It’s time to change that way
of thinking — and we believe ToucanSurf is making that change happen.”
Joseph Blass adds: “All six ToucanSurf services are unified by a set
of central values. Straightforward pricing and dedicated customer
support from real people. Total ease of use. And no limits: users are
tired of receiving great pricing offers, only to learn about
restrictions on downloads. With ToucanSurf, what you see is what you
get. It all adds up to a new service that makes the Internet genuinely
easy and puts the consumer back in control.”
All ToucanSurf products feature unlimited downloads, to save users the
frustration of being disconnected in the middle of transferring large
files. Also included are: free broadband modem, free connection, free
24 x 7 customer services and technical support for just
10p-per-minute, seven days a week from 8am until midnight. Customers
combining ToucanSurf with the ToucanTalk voice service have the added
advantage of seeing their charges conveniently listed on a single
monthly bill.
