THUS Launches 1 MB Soho Broadband Package
Demon HomeOffice range provides low cost ADSL with superior business functionality
17 January 2005 - THUS plc today launched Demon HomeOffice, its range of new broadband products aimed at SoHo (Small office Home office) businesses, small enterprises and heavy residential users. The new range introduces a 1Mbps service 'Demon HomeOffice 1000' and also includes a 500Kbps service 'Demon HomeOffice 500'. Both services deliver always-on, high-performance Internet connectivity with key business features delivered at competitive pricing.

The HomeOffice range provides greater services and support than most standard broadband packages on the market. Business users can take advantage of a variety of features including a static IP address for secure remote access to company servers over a VPN, 20 Mb homepage hosting - enough for small business users to create a professional online presence - and free electronic fax and companion dial-up so that users can connect to email when on the move. Unlimited email addresses are also supplied with free Demon Spam Filtering, as well as optional supported Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), which provides users with a choice of modem, router or wireless router. In addition, users have access to round-the-clock dedicated telephone support from THUS's experienced technical support team.

Ideal for home working and small offices that need a fast Internet connection, HomeOffice 500 and 1000 provides users with a fixed monthly fee for unlimited, uncapped broadband access. Users can download large files and content in seconds, without having to worry about exceeding usage or download restrictions and incurring additional costs. Competitively priced at 24.99 per month for HomeOffice 500 and 29.99 per month for HomeOffice 1000 (both inclusive of VAT), the packages provide business services at affordable pricing, enabling SoHo workers to control their overall Internet costs.

""Until now, many SoHo workers have been at a disadvantage, having to pay through the nose for sufficient bandwidth with appropriate business support. After listening to our customers requirements we decided to launch the Demon HomeOffice range so that SMEs and home office customers could have all the broadband functionality required for their business at affordable costs," said Nigel Stevens, Product Director at THUS plc. "Through our continued commitment in developing the Demon Broadband portfolio, THUS now has the most comprehensive collection of SME targeted broadband products on the market which appeal to SoHo workers as well high-end SME users that require a top-end uncapped service."

Customers who sign up for one of the HomeOffice packages before the end of March 2005 can take advantage of THUS's introductory promotion. The offer comprises of a free installation worth 50 and an optional free modem worth 35 for all subscribers. "

The new HomeOffice products will replace THUS's Demon Express range of broadband products, which will be taken off the shelf in January 2005. The HomeOffice range is the latest offering from THUS's Demon branded communications portfolio, which includes Internet access, hosting and telephony services. More information on the Demon HomeOffice range is available from www.demon.net.

is it just me or is the latter reports offering both reactive and not competitive on a price basis

"When a share doesn't drop on bad news - buy it. When a share fails to rise on good news - sell it" Old stockmarket truism.

THUS is firmly in the latter category, unfortunately for us. Really the only apparent possibility of making money on THUS seems to be an ownership change or deal of some kind. Roll on some news!

I keep thinking of Warren Buffet saying that stock dealing is the transfer of money from the impatient to the patient - and I hold on for another month!

pete

i dont think he was talking in terms of months - more like years/decades

seems to be a rumour that next lot of results will be poor again - no real shock there - like most im holding out for a takeover - please!!!!!

I'm out - put the money into NOP in the expectation of a rise when they finally get a drilling rig for their IOW project. If I cash in at a profit I will be back, but it could take some time for THUS to come good. Anyway I made 5.5% on them in 8 weeks which is something.

up we go, 21p next

are we seeing a recovery here?

Absolutely, good recovery play here

not yet. I'm holding

I'm hoping!!

I bought in Jan and keeping my fingers crossed

I suspect the rise will be slow up to 20p. A jump will should start around 21p IMO

is there a trading stmtn due soon ??

31st March

They can carry on ticking up til then

fireworks soon

CW. has more money now.

Very low volume this AM. No stake building up front. Wouldn't rely on CW to buy THUS, if they had wanted to go down that path it would have been done a long time ago. I'm more hopeful of a new party coming along for the 'buy' Not holding my breath though!

Either way I would rather be in than out at the moment,
just got a gut feeling something is brewing here

Hope your 'gut feeling' is reliable Rampage I'm well into THUS right now.
