Ah. Bugger

I thought it was too good to be true!

I was also looking at "Lobsterpot Broadband" that seemed to be offering a great deal (512kb for £13.99 IIRC) but then I discovered it was only that price for the first half GB, then they would charge you extra up to 1GB for £24.99 (I think) which wasn't so great after all!)

The problem is that the BB market is *so* full of "confusion marketting", eg "broadband from £8.99" but that's actually really only 300b or 512kb for £13.99 (but only for the first three months then it doubles) that you can't compare apples with apples and that is a real pain.
Yes, there are so many different offers that selection of the best is difficult and todays best may not be tomorrows. Broadband has changed a lot in the past 12 months and will probably change even more in the next 12. If you venture to ADSL I would look for a supplier with a short contract period.
