Switzerland's most popular Internet subscription is set to become even faster and more affordable. Customers who already surf with DSL standard will automatically get a higher download speed of up to 5,000 kbps (currently 3,500 kbps) free of charge, while those who had subscribed to the faster DSL extra will be migrated to the new DSL standard. Customers will therefore only pay CHF 49 in future and are set to save CHF 10 a month for the same service. The DSL extra service will no longer be available in future.

New offerings for first-time users

Another newly-launched subscription is DSL mini. The flat-rate offering allows download speeds of up to 1,000 kbps and up to 100 kbps for sending data. It is ideal for occasional surfers and costs CHF 34 a month. All existing customers whose download speeds are lower than 1,200 kbps as per 25 August 2008 will automatically get the new DSL mini subscription.

For first-time users, Swisscom is also launching DSL start with no monthly basic fee, and download speeds of up to 300 kbps. It will cost CHF 3 per hour with billing to the nearest second. Customers will be able to get Bluewin TV from Swisscom without paying a monthly DSL subscription charge.

Prices and performance of Swisscom's fastest Internet offering, DSL infinity, remain unchanged at CHF 69 a month. The fastest package, with speeds of up to 20,000 kbps, also includes call charges from and to the Swiss fixed network.

New offerings for SME customers too

Alongside the upgrade of the Internet offering for residential customers, the Internet portfolio for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will also be adjusted. The "Business Internet" product which has combined all previous SME Internet offerings under one name since 1 July 2008 will be adjusted accordingly as of 25 August 2008. SME customers are also set to benefit from an improved price-performance ratio.
