People seeking fibre-optic broadband packages may be interested to hear that XILO has announced the pricing for its new deals.

The broadband provider has revealed that home internet users will have the option of selecting from two packages when taking up its network services, according to ISPreview.co.uk.

XILO's Home 25 features a peak download allowance of 25GB, as well as download speeds of up to 40Mb and upload speeds of 2Mb for £27.90 a month. People who want 10Mb upload speeds will pay £28.90 a month.

In contrast, the Home 50 deal offers the same download speeds with a peak allowance of 50GB, while consumers can take 2Mb uploads on the deal worth £33.90 a month or 10Mb uploads for £35.50 a month.

News of the deals has come after BT confirmed the introduction of its fibre-optic broadband network in Tettenhall earlier this month.

Download speeds of up to 40Mb are available through the service, which is now available to more than 11,000 householders and firms in the local area.
