In summary though:

£39.99 a month

33:1 contention

Subject to a soft cap of 4GB a day.

Available to 222 exchanges in the UK: http://www.samknows.com/broadband/maps.php?id=40

Available to 4.4 million homes by early next year, if you're on one of the exchanges above available now

Game on! :D

:drool: we're getting there, only problem is AFAIK with all these higher speeds being available, what about the sites being d/loaded from, are they gonna keep up ?? and another biggie is the cables / services infrastructure, surely only a lucky few could make use of this :shrug: But like I said, were getting there :tu:

My only hope is for ntl to compete with this offer.

If higher speed connections are available it might prompt service providers to produce content that makes use of the speed. No company is going to spend money on content that nobody has the speed to access properly.

Can anybody point me to a list of exchanges which may be up for unbundling in the future/planned by easynet.

Ummm put your details into their availability checker + see what it says.

Already done that, knew that my exchange wasnt unbundled (its not even adsl enabled :p: ) didn't give me anything on the future either, just to register my interest.

Nevermind, the future isn't bright for lincolnshire, BT seemed to of just forgotten us. :shrug:

One thing to note: Not the usual 3 month cancelation contract that the majority of Adsl isp have.

If you are a Broadband Services customer, the minimum term of your Agreement with us for the Broadband Services is 12 months.
But..... my local BT exchange is in line of sight, the soft cap of 4GB a day is much better/more realistic (not that i will constantly use it, but its nice to have a decent overdraft so to speak) than NTL's new BB tiers, as for 400k upload well i can live with that, & a contension ratio of 33:1 wont bother me either.

*shakes head*

No.... I... will.... not.... agree.... with.... Awesome.....

Ah to hell with it, agreed! :p:

Simply amazing if you are on an exchange that can get it, and one would hope this sends a strong disruption through the UK market, resulting in better services for all.
