The internet has become an integral part of our daily lives. Whether it is access to e-mail, social media sites or online gaming, it has brought the world to our living rooms like no other technology before. We are able to research and book a holiday while sitting on the couch, or find the results of an obscure sporting event taking place in some far flung corner of the globe. In fact, most people can no longer imagine a time when all these things were not possible. However, as the use of the internet has expanded, so have the demands on the infrastructure providing the data.
 
LIME delivers internet service through its landline service, which provides more controllable bandwidth with much less variation in speed than other systems.
 
Through network upgrade work, the company is now also able to provide the fastest residential internet access on Island, with speeds of up to 8 MB depending on the package customers sign up for. This is perfect especially for homes with multiple users, where different media streams and online gaming may compete for bandwidth.
 
Systems upgrades have also resulted in shorter installation times.
 
LIME also has a number of special offers for those wanting to make the most of their internet experience. Anyone signing a two year contract for a new 4 MB Mega Extreme package before 17 July will receive a Lenovo Netbook worth $299 absolutely free. Those signing up for a 3MB Mega Max contract will receive a 75 per cent discount on the netbook, with a new 2 MB contract qualifying for a 50 per cent discount.
 
This could well be the perfect Fathers Day surprise – faster internet and a new netbook.
 
LIME also offers purchase plans to new internet customers who want to purchase a laptop or desktop PC, with 12 month interest free payment plans.
 
When signing up, customers also have the option of paying a reduced fee to upgrade from the free standard modem to a multi-port wireless modem, the perfect solution for a home full of wireless devices.   WH
