Business telecoms provider Heart Telecom has launched a new offer, making its business broadband package free for six months.

Companies signing up for the deal can benefit from 8Mb download and 1Mb upload speeds, free setup and free UK-based support, the firm says.

According to Heart, which also offers line rental, phone numbers and business call packages, the offer is particularly well-suited to home enterprises and small and medium-sized firms.

Tim Beresford, Managing Director of Heart Telecom, said that with the downturn affecting every industry, businesses should be looking to get better deals from their suppliers.

He added: "We believe our business broadband is great value for money and with our free managed setup, switching broadband is quick and easy."

Last week, broadband provider O2 confirmed it will begin bundling its internet packages with home phone services from March 2010.
