So thats BT £327 NTL £299.98 (and no need to buy the modem)
Still a winner to NTL then.
Makes the title of this thread a bit more interesting!

Marvellous - and installation is free right now (saving £75) - and there's no 'one off connection' charge either...

I've been smug since day one of my BB service - being the careful type, I checked the figures and knew that ntl was offering far better value than BT. BT's prices came down not long after, and are coming down again, but ntl is still better value.
Remember with BT Openwound you don't get any email or webspace either.
Sorry if I'm gushing a bit but I'm in love with the new SACM the engineer installed for us yesterday. It is silver and has lots more flashing lights on it than the old one.

You do get e-mail accounts with openworld (not sure of webspace) but if you go with BT Internet, then no you dont get any e-mail accounts.....

BT Internet is added to your phonebill, BT Openworld is a completely seperate company...
Theyre both able to offer you the same packages for the same prices (i think) They both have seperate tech support numbers etc..... I dont know why they bothered...... but they obviously thought it was a good idea....
They may have originally set BTOpenWorld up for Residential And BT Internet for business i suppose.... but your able to get either for either.... so....
Maybe someone else can shed some light on this?

Its BT Broadband not internet, BT Internet became BT Openworld a couple of years ago.
BT Broadbabnd is a bit cheaper than Openworld but you dont get anything apart from a BB connection.
With Openworld you get email, webspace and server side anti-spam.
(I dont use BTs own BB so dont quote me)
