GTC and Direct Save Telecom provide more choice for consumers

GTC has announced that from today householders will have more choice of broadband and phone provider via its market leading Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks.

 

Direct Save Telecom, an Independent Internet Service Provider (ISP) is now offering a range of low-cost voice and broadband services with the lowest price offer of broadband at just £4.95 per month. Together, the two providers will offer householders the very best quality service in terms of speeds and value for money.

GTC is the market-leading utility infrastructure provider to the UK new-build market. The company provides open access to its fibre networks to those Internet Service Providers offering a full range of competitive packages to householders.

GTC’s Fibre-to-the-Home networks deliver to householders some of the fastest and most reliable broadband speeds (up to 300Mbps) available in the UK and enable customers to take full advantage of high-speed connectivity, whether for home working, downloading content or on-line gaming.  GTC’s FTTH network does not suffer the speed deterioration or contention issues associated with out-dated copper connections which are still being installed today by other providers.

GTC’s open access fibre-optic networks are managed by Independent Fibre Networks Ltd, (IFNL). It is this open access to Internet Service Providers which has enabled Direct Save Telecom to team up with GTC. Direct Save Telecom is very pleased to be working together with GTC to bring additional choice and increased service options to residential customers via FTTH. *

Direct Save Telecom’s CEO, Stavros Tsolakis, stated: ‘I am excited to be offering our low-cost, quality service across GTC’s Fibre-to-the-Home networks on new-build housing developments.  Our prices compare favourably to other service providers delivering over a copper or Fibre-to-the-Cabinet network.  We have already had excellent feedback which reflects the quality of the product and the very competitive pricing levels.’

Andrew Robinson, GTC’s Fibre Business Director commented: ‘This is great news for both our house builders and their customers who already enjoy the benefits of our FTTH network.  With Direct Save offering services across our networks it not only increases customers’ choice of service provider but also gives them access to the very best voice and broadband services at the lowest available prices in the market.’
