Imagine sweeps into broadband market with ‘cheapest offer in Europe’

TELECOM company Imagine swept into the broadband market yesterday with a radical move to offer high-speed internet access for €10 per month.

The company said the new deal was the cheapest broadband offering in Europe and would undercut Eircom’s equivalent product by 50%.

But there are strings attached. The €10 package allows a maximum of 20 hours of internet access every month, with an additional charge of 3.5c per minute, or €2.10 for every hour, over the limit. This compares with Eircom’s package for low users that costs €20 per month and €2.40 per extra hour if the 20-hour threshold is breached.
