If 8mb is avail to 4.4million like I said small areas
The total number of homes in the UK is about 25 million, 20 million of these are in England.

And unless I'm very much mistaken (very likely  ) I think you'll find that while 4.4 million homes can obtain services from 8mb capable exchanges most of the homes are not close enough to reach 8mb...

Re: 1GB Cap Letter!!!!
2mb 8mb, whatever, it's uncapped proper broadband. Broadband as it's meant to be. Do whatever you want. NO CAPS.

Sign up then..................
See you back at NTL though when they start capping (best reserve http://www.ukonlineHELL.net ) and their ADSL can't keep up with NTL's 10-12mb or what ever the next few upgrades bring us.
If I could get 8mb uncapped ADSL for £29 I'd be gone by now and if it arrives here soon I will. I'd make sure it was a short minimum contract though as I think NTL will try and beat all of it's main competitors on speed and usage allowance (BT etc). I'd be straight back to NTL if and when it was a better deal.
I certainly would not be moaning all the time about caps that don't even exist.
Even when they do start capping the 1mb it is aimed people who don't need more than 3gig mth and want the speed for what little they do......

Re: 1GB Cap Letter!!!!
ukonline already cap, the cap is at 500 gig. Considering the max possible on 8mbit is around 2.4TB, they will be cutting out a lot of potential 24/7 abuse still.

A price war

UKOnline offers 512KB broadband for £9.99
Entry level package undercuts the market
Competition in the broadband access market got a little bit steeper when UKOnline announced their new entry level package yesterday.
The ISP is offering 512Kbps (kilobits per second) broadband internet access for £9.99 per month.
The rental is £5 less than the nearest competitor, and £7 or £8 less than the major players in the market like BT and AOL.

Except it says 'from £9.99'. When I see if it's available it quotes £19.99,
Hmm, 25% of the speed for 80% of the price of NTL - not quite a price war then

Obviously the site isn't ready for the price cuts yet.
I don't even know when the offer starts but start it will!

Site is fine, in areas where Easynet haven't installed their own equipment into the exchange the prices are:
500k/250k £19.99/mth
2000k/250k £29.99/mth
Both uncapped.
Where Easynet have their equipment:
500k/250k £9.99/mth
2000k/250k £19.99/mth
Both uncapped
8000k/500k £29.99/mth 500GB/mth fair usage.
