SURE is to launch a broadband service in the Isle of Man and it will be available for pre-order from tomorrow (Friday).

The company said it will be the cheapest broadband service available in the Island and will offer unlimited access to the fastest speed available here – 16 megabytes.

It will begin next month.

Sure pay monthly mobile customers will be able to get the service from £14.95 per month while non-Sure pay monthly mobile customers will pay £21.95 per month.

Chief commercial officer at Sure Andy Bridson said: "This is a very exciting time for Sure and for broadband users in the Isle of Man.

"Islanders will soon be able to benefit from the same reliability and value for money in their broadband as they have come to expect from existing Sure mobile services."

Sure said it is the largest broadband provider in Guernsey and the largest provider of internet connectivity across the Channel Islands.

Meanwhile a recent survey conducted by the company found 79 per cent of Manx residents don't know when their current broadband contract expires.

Mr Bridson said: "We would encourage people to check when their contract expires, it is always worth shopping around to ensure you are getting the best deal."

Sure will also be upgrading its mobile services at the beginning of November.

A new range of high speed mobile products will be made available and work is underway to upgrade the Sure network to full 3G+ coverage.
