According to a reports by BBC News Online and ZDNet, several small UK companies are starting to re-sell BT’s “no frills” ADSL for less than the “magic” £20 a month. But since it costs £14.75 a month wholesale, BT says they can’t make money (BT charges £27 a month for its no frills service).

I wonder how it is that ADSL costs the equivalent of £18 in Ontario, Canada – a price that includes the email addresses, free technical support and web space that BT says it can’t afford to offer for nearly £10 more…
