Cable & Wireless Offers Net.Partners Internet Promotion

Starting June 2, Cable & Wireless is offering customers the opportunity to sign up for new Internet service while shopping for a new computer.

As part of the Net. Partners promotion - an exciting one-stop-shopping offer - Cable & Wireless has joined with four local computer companies to offer Internet sign-up at their locations. And to make this promotion a real convenience for customers, the new Cable & Wireless pre-paid mobile service - "Pay As You Go" - will also be available at all Net.Partners locations.

Net.Partners showcases the new and improved Cable & Wireless Internet packages introduced last month - including the new Net Pro package that will give them 50 on-line hours for $50 per month. All existing packages now provide double the on-line hours in the package for the same price as before.

Those who take advantage of the Net. Partners promotion will receive the improved Internet packages, and also have the $35 installation fee waived, get Internet service activated on the same day and receive a free t-shirt. They will also have the chance to take advantage of special offers on computer equipment at the computer supplier of their choice.

Net.Partners will be taking place from 12 noon to 6 p.m. on the following dates:

Cable & Wireless Internet Helpdesk Manager Suzanne Collins said: "This is a great opportunity to take advantage of our new packages. We invite everyone to drop by and see an Internet demonstration, or learn more about pre-paid mobile service. "
