Re: ADSL Price Increased!

["Des Gibbons" <Des@xxxxxxx>]

The changes Andrew was talking about are for those people who were already
on the trial for the last year ( lucky basts;)

They were paying 30 quid for 2mbps and now they are paying 50quid for
512kbps, what a change!


The pricing nildram are talking about are actually the business prices, BT
haven't fixed the retail pricing for isps yet (according to my latest info
from BT anyway). I can't remember the pricing that Kingston in Hull have
set
for ADSL, but it was around the 30-50 quid mark, so BT will have a hard
time
with OFTEL if it doesn't set a price point close to this.

Then again, they are in _no_ hurry to get everyone using ADSL!!

(any news on ADSL in the south Brendan?)
