Thus plc, which operates the Demon services, announced today that it has cut the cost of its business services to SMEs. It is passing reductions in BT's monthly wholesale ADSL charges on to its Demon branded ISP business customers.

Demon Express Plus will be reduced from a monthly fee of £75 to £45 and Demon Express Pro from £150 to £79. In addition, Thus is halving connection costs for both services to £125 even though BT charges for set-up services have not been reduced. Thus claims that the total cost for the first year of services, including set-up fees and monthly rental, will decrease by 42 per cent for Demon Express Plus customers and by 48 per cent for those subscribing to Demon Express Pro.

Thus claims that many smaller businesses are not equipped with the technical know how to install broadband themselves and that the new prices mean that it is cheaper to let them do it.
