Re: BT Retail makes its unlimited products totally unlimited

Some more coverage:

“Customers are now much more aware of the terms of their broadband service, and are questioning why limits are in place,” said Baliszewski. Download limits and fair usage policies, etc, are becoming unpopular, especially as household data consumption is growing all the time. A truly unlimited broadband package is the only option for customers who want to fully enjoy the wide variety of content available to them over the internet.”

John Petter, managing director of BT’s Consumer division, said: “We believe we have boosted our broad bandoffering by moving our best broadband deals to totally unlimited. Customers told us that they wanted to be able to enjoy catch-up TV, streamed films and other bandwidth-eating applications without having to worry about going over their limit or being slowed down by their ISP.”

It's a great move from BT. More and more people are forming the opinion that a truly unlimited, unshaped and consistent broadband connection is much better than having speed that’s heavily managed.

I wonder how Virgin will react. Hopefully they'll listen to their customers and relax their traffic management policies.
