512k BB for under £20.00. :tu:

Tesco are now offering full 512k BB ADSL for £19.97 per month with no download limit

This can only be a good move for the consumer IMHO-Why pay Wanadoo (for example) £20.00 for a 'service' with a 2 gig d/l limit, when you can pay the same to Tesco & get an unlimited service?

Link.

Way to go Tesco! :clap:

tbh i am surprised it has taken this long , i wonder if it is going to mean supermarket price wars extended to the internet , now theres a thought , i wonder if morrisons and the rest of them will get in on the act :tu: if they do :D :D

Re: It had to happen.....
 

Why do the colours on that site seem so familiar? :erm:

now you mention it :disturbd: :disturbd: :disturbd:

Tesco's dial-up service is provided by NTL. Presumably their Broadband is as well, which is very interesting indeed. Where are NTL up to with their own off-net ADSL service? And is it UNCAPPED? :erm: :dozey:

Re: It had to happen.....
 

ntl only provide Tesco with dial up backbone AFAIK, the BB offering from Tesco will be over BT lines using ADSL.

Re: It had to happen.....
 

does it require a bt line?

Re: It had to happen.....
 

Unfortunately, Tesco internet access is only available to customers using BT residential 'phone lines.

Re: It had to happen.....
 

Yes, as it's ADSL.

Re: It had to happen.....
 

Not wishing to stir things (and certainly not trying to make this a capping thread) but I believe Virgin.net also has close links to NTL yet runs over the BT ADSL network, similar to this Tesco offering. Virgin, like tesco, make no reference to caps, yet Virgin are now regularly contacting their users by email saying your overdoing it.

Is the grass really greener on the other side? Time will tell. On the face of it the Tesco offer is excellent value, relative to other UK ISPs.

I already have BB with BT, would it be easy to change over to Tesco?
Thanks

I find the AOL ads very amusing - the pop-up box that says "You've reached your download limit" and AOL intoning that this means you have to wait until next month. It's an industry conspiracy to spread misinformation. Good job the muppet users have CF :D

Re: It had to happen.....
 

Yeah, but they can offer 1Mbps uncapped for £29.99 a month ;)

Their CS may be as bad as NTLs though I don't know these days, and their software sucks, but they seem to be living on the same planet as everyone else when it comes to pricing, plus their tech support line is free.

Re: It had to happen.....
 

Yes, but does it not go onto the NTL ISP network once off the BT network (like NTL Freedom ADSL) and use the NTL servers etc.?

Re: It had to happen.....
 

I don't believe so, no.
