UK Online unveils 24 meg service
UK Online - the ISP that's part of local loop unbundling (LLU) outfit EasyNet - has confirmed it too is to offer 24 meg broadband.

The ISP launched an 8 meg service ten months ago and is now planning to build on that with the release of a 24 meg product from next month.

Although prices have yet to be confirmed the company said the service would cost under ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£30 a month.

In a statement Chris Stening, top dog at UK Online, said: "We've been pushing the current ADSL technology to its limits with 8Mb broadband since late last year."

Today's anouncement follows hard on the heals of rival ISP "Be", which revealed yesterday that it is planning a pilot of its 24 meg service in the London area.

Bulldog - another LLU operator which has been in the news recently for all the wrong reasons - is also telling its customers that it is planning to release a 20 meg service sometime soon.

So thats Uk Online with 20meg at ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£30,
Be Pilots with 24meg at ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£20 (as part of a trial)
Bulldog with 20meg

and we have NTL on 10meg and not available for everyone till end of next year (insert laugh here)
