MDU Communications (News - Alert) International, a communications provider offering DIRECTV and broadband services that caters to the multi-family marketplace has recently expanded its broadband service offering. The company has begun rolling out and marketing this service to its existing portfolio of multi-family properties.

With a large amount of industry expertise, the communications provider has been able to lower the costs associated with deployment of broadband systems.

The enhanced service from the company has been created to provide significantly greater access speeds for residents to support high bandwidth capacity Internet-based services such as music and video downloading, movie and television streaming and gaming.

Additionally, MDU Communications has launched special packages to residents in select test property deployments, which will offer download speeds of up to 100Mbps under different pricing packages. Also, the communications provider will be bundling its DIRECTV and Voice over IP services with this new offering and may be launching other incremental services supported by its robust property networks, according to officials at MDU Communications.

At this current time, MDU Communications delivers services to over 78,000 subscribers in 800 multi-family properties comprising over 174,000 residences. However, its broadband services have only been launched in 109 of these properties with only 10,000 subscribers. This provides an opportunity for the communications provider to profitably up-sell broadband services to potentially 68,000 of its existing subscribers that have already made the decision to leverage the company's video products.

In order to support its growing video and broadband market in the South Central market, the communications provider has recently launched a regional office in the Dallas - Fort Worth area. Having a local presence in a large market such as Texas will assist the company in successfully expanding in the near future.
