UPC has announced a major upgrade of its cable Internet service in Hungary. As from this March the 200,000 subscribers to chello will be offered a total of four packages with download speeds of up to 20Mbps for no additional fee. The company is reacting to growing competition from the incumbent telco’s T-Online subsidiary and alternative provider TVNet, both of which will soon also improve their ADSL Internet offers. The total number of ADSL connections in Hungary stood at 520,000 in Q3 2006, while just under 240,000 homes accessed the Internet via cable. (CD)
