British Telecom has finally announced a 40% drop in its wholesale charge for ADSL provision (as hinted at earlier), from £25 to £14.75 a month starting – worryingly – on April 1st. Not only will this lower the price for everyone and significantly broaden the range of people willing to pay to get broadband, but it will finally make it economic for a range of competitors to offer broadband at a reasonable cost.
This site gives an overview of costs in the UK – the cheapest so far is £23.44 a month from Pipex.
Of course the cable companies have been under-cutting this for some time – I pay £25 a month for my cable-based broadband, and I hope this will also drop through increased competition. In France the price is even lower – France Telecom’s Wanadoo charges a little over £10 a month for broadband, apparently, though it is under investigation over claims it is cross-subsidising this to wipe out the competition.credit bad loan 20000home loans 454 equity50000 loans personalloans educations services american studenthigh risk $50,000 loanland refinace alabama loansbad loan cash 50,000 creditbill loan calendar a add to Map
