By offering the new service plans, Exede Business users get more choice, and dealers and other sales agents can fill in coverage gaps by providing affordable high-speed internet connectivity to business customers in the U.S. Additionally, for those businesses requiring a back-up connectivity solution, the new Exede Redundancy plan offers a reliable, low-cost solution that provides peace of mind with 15 Mbps download speeds in areas of the country that serve over 80 percent of the population, and 5 Mbps download speeds in other areas. The monthly price of the Exede Redundancy plan starts as low as $59.99 and the monthly price of the primary service plans starts as low as $99.99.
The new Exede Business plans are never slowed because the data allowance was exceeded, and the plans allow businesses to continue receiving service at the same speeds through an automated feature where additional usage is purchased. The monthly price of each Exede Business plan includes persistent IP addresses as well as an equipment leasing fee.
