Imagine launches its new WiMax service in Waterford

Imagine Communications Group has announced the launch of its high-speed WiMax broadband and phone network in Waterford city.

The new fourth generation wireless technology provides superfast Internet and phone access at home and on the move for half the cost charged by current providers.

The Irish company is signing up customers to its 4G WiMax network this week, which will deliver 50 per cent cheaper phone and broadband services to thousands of customers.

The roll-out of the Imagine service will save Waterford homeowners at least €400 a year on their phone and broadband bills compared to Eircom.

The new network will deliver the fastest and most reliable broadband Internet ever seen in the county, with no rip-off line rental charges.

imagine has already reported interest in the new high-speed service in Waterford to be above average, and has pledged to expand WiMax coverage in the region in 2010.

For just €20 per month, Imagine is offering a phone-only package to homes in Waterford with no line rental fee, again available for 50 per cent cheaper than competitors.
