Companies jockeying for Internet market share

Telecom reform is hitting its stride this year.

Earlier this week Link Bermuda announced its own bundle plans for Internet and international calls.

Link is also offering it’s ‘One-Stop-Shop’ service where you can pay them for both Internet access and service.  The company said: “We know it’s not fun dealing with two providers for Internet.”

Bermuda CableVision has been running ads announcing that people will soon be able to get all their Internet in one place instead of two providers.

CableVision declined to give price specifics on its new plans at this point but Link has been advertising four different bundles.

• 5Mb Internet plus pay as you go worldwide calling starting at $22.77 a month (goes up to $35.67 after three months)

• 8Mb Internet and unlimited calling to Canada and the US for $43.74 a month (then $68.52 a moth after three months)

• 15mb Internet and pay as you go worldwide calling starting at $49.77 a month (then $77.97 a month after three months)

• 25Mb Internet and unlimited calling to the US, UK, Canada and Ireland starting at $96.54 (then $151.24 a month after three months).
