TKS BRINGS HIGH-SPEED INTERNET TO BAUMHOLDER HOUSING
Surf'n'Talk: broadband cable modem with free phone calls to U.S.A.
Kaiserslautern, Germany - July 28, 2009 - On Wednesday July 29, 2009, TKS will launch Surf'n'Talk services at Baumholder, bringing reliable and cost-effective broadband Internet service to Smith Barracks.
With Surf'n'Talk, Baumholder residents will benefit from immediate same day activation, plug-and-play setup, money-saving flat rates, and guaranteed availability in all locations.
A special Baumholder activation incentive will be available through August 31, 2009. The promotion features free activation, a free cable modem, and also free cable TV services with savings of over € 135.00. Surf'n'Talk can be requested at the TKSShop located in Baumholder's main exchange.
Cable Internet Technology Makes It Possible
What sets apart Surf'n'Talk, is that all services are delivered via TKS's high-bandwidth cable television network, not over the traditional German telephone network. For local residents, Surf'n'Talk addresses and effectively solves numerous DSL availability issues at Baumholder. In recent years, the existing on-post telephone infrastructure and respective DSL resources have not been able to meet ever-increasing demand. As a result, many residents were unable to obtain a broadband web connection, and often had to endure long activation periods (sometimes weeks) just for a basic phone line. By delivering services over the modern cable television network, TKS can ensure efficient same-day activation and will be able to provide equal access to the latest telecommunication solutions to all on-post residents.
