Insight Offers Broadband Speeds of 20 Megs to Customers

Insight Broadband 20.0 available on a “first-come, first-served” basis

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Insight Communications today announced the launch of Insight Broadband 20.0 to customers throughout its footprint in Kentucky and Indiana. The service, which supplements the company’s core broadband service, Insight Broadband 10.0, offers customers up to 20 megabits per second of download speeds, which are up to double the speeds customers currently receive with Insight’s Broadband 10.0 service. It also provides upstream speeds of up to 1.5 mbps.

“We’ve been offering the fastest Internet download speeds in our serviceable areas with our Insight Broadband 10.0 service”

“We’ve been offering the fastest Internet download speeds in our serviceable areas with our Insight Broadband 10.0 service,” said Paul Meltzer, senior vice president, product management for Insight. “And, while this service already offers customers the ability to download their favorite movies, music and games at a fraction of the time it takes using DSL, Broadband 20.0 confers extra bragging rights on Internet enthusiasts. In addition, it provides enough bandwidth for all members of an enthusiastic household to share a connection and still experience superior performance.”

Insight is limiting the number of customers who can subscribe to Insight Broadband 20.0 in each market for the immediate future. It is available on a first-come, first-served basis and is priced at $20.00 more than a customer pays for their current Insight Broadband 10.0 service. Insight’s core broadband service, Insight 10.0, is available to customers for as low as $30.00 a month when purchased in a package.
