UK Broadband Deals Go Crazy

With the weekend fast approaching, we thought we’d put you in the right frame of mind with an update on the latest broadband deals out there because it seems, after a slow start, that the UK is fast becoming a surfer’s paradise.
First up is our old friend UK Online, king of the 8Mbit connection. As broadband speeds increase we are surprised it remains the sole provider of this blazingly quick connection, but that it does. It is not resting on its laurels either having Dec

ided to cut its monthly charge by Ł10 to the outrageously good value of Ł29.99.
The new price also includes a free wireless router if you sign up before 3 May and you can expect upload speeds of up to 400Kbps, a low contention ratio of 33:1 and a massive download allowance of 500GB per month. If service providers are going to have caps, that is more like it...
In addition, this offer will be extended to existing UK Online customers, so if you signed up under the previous price of Ł39.99 you’ll get the same benefit as new subscribers, which is jolly Dec

ent of them if you ask me?

Update 11/04/2005:
As of 11 April, UK Online has announced two more deals. A superb uncapped 512k service for just Ł9.99 per month, a new record low we believe (mail us if you know differently), which includes free modem and a reduced Ł25 connection charge. Secondly, a 2Mbps line is yours for Ł19.99. It also comes with a free modem and the same Ł25 connection charge. This company is really pulling out all the stops right now.
If you are looking for something even faster than 8Mbps then you’ll be pleased to know Easynet is the latest service provider to announce trials of ADSL2 and ADSL2+ technologies which offer speeds up to 24Mbps. They anticipate a full commercial launch in the second half of 2005. Last month NTL completed successful trials of ADSL2+ at speeds of up to 18Mbps. If the UK keeps going at this rate I’ll finally be able to shut Lars up, once and for all, about how great Sweden is.
