Dedicated ISP for Mac Users

[Raptor]

In a move to please Mac users, the internet service provider MacAce will be offering its service in the UK for the first time.

This dedicated service for users of Macs will offer connection speeds of up to 24 Mbps using an ADSL2+ BT line.

For customers who have access to this type of the line the service will be available immediately.

Under the upgrading work that BT is currently doing, a hundred and forty five exchanges have been upgraded to ADSL2+. However this is a three year programme and more exchanges are being enabled.

There are various packages available, starting at £19.39 per month for basic MacAce ADSL2+ broadband service.

Customers can choose a package which includes broadband, line rental and phone calls from £30.99 per month.

what a stupid idea.

what exactly is mac-centric about their offering other than telling people its for mac users?!

[BertRoot]

Yeah another great way to segregate themselves with the ridiculous brand.

how? apple branded data packets?

[ant3b]

i dont know marcode. just something i would like to throw into the chatter.

Like you said there is no difference accept the general public would think "ah a mac provider go with them"

[BertRoot]

Yeah and the price is higher than other 24 meg providers also. What happens if your mate comes round with a non Mac lappy and uses your wireless. Surely they will be able to smell the dirty PC packets and cease his service...

I think the availability of this service says something about mac users.
