Re: Will the UK ever have high speed broadband?
Thought some people might be interested in the new deal from UK Online.
Download speeds of up to 8Mb
Upload speeds of up to 400k
Contention ratio of 33:1
Only £39.99 a month
One-off set up fee of £50
Wireless Ethernet Router for £69.99
Subject to reasonable use.
Now before anybody starts jumping on what is reasonable use here is what they say.
Are there any usage restrictions?
We do not have a fixed bandwidth restriction. However we reserve the right to suspend or restrict your use of the Service if we consider it excessive. We would consider regular or recurring data transfer in excess of 4 Gigabytes per day to be an example of excessive use of our Broadband 8000 service.
I do appreciate that at the moment it is restricted to within 2km of an exchange but I feel it does show that higher speeds are available, and possibly NTL are not offering such a good deal with their proposed increases in speed early next year, especially when you consider that you would have to pay out a one off free of £25.00 to take up the new speeds.
