Mac users get their own dedicated 24Mb broadband service

Wednesday 04 February 2009   |  Comment  |  

It’s no secret dedicated Apple lovers will go out of their way to pledge allegiance to the brand, so it should come as no surprise users of the Mac operating system have their own dedicated internet service – MacAce.net.

This ISP has just become the latest in the UK to launch a new range of ‘up to’ 24Mb ADSL2+ broadband services over BT’s 21CN network – a package that’s also capable of 1Mb upload speeds.

The 24Mb 'AlwaysOn' home packages start with the cheapest AlwaysOn Lite deal. Priced at £16.49 on a rolling one month contract it includes a 10Gb peak download limit (unlimited off-peak), five email accounts and 1Gb of 'MacMate' web space. It’s also possible to increase the peak usage quota to 30Gb (AlwaysOn Pro £24.39 per month) and 60Gb (AlwaysOn Elite at £29.29 per month) but all 24Mb packages are subject to a £46 connection charge.

There should hopefully be no problems with bandwidth-throttling for the AlwaysOn home packages, as MacAce.net makes a promise its services aren’t affected by “traffic shaping or restrictions”.
