£10 for high-speed Net
A PRICE war over the cost of high-speed internet access is set to break out after one company cut its monthly broadband charges to just £10.
UK Online slashed its fees from £19.99 a month to £9.99.
Now BT, whose cheapest broadband package is currently £17.99, and other providers like AOL are now expected to drop their prices within days.
Dylan Armbrust, of Computer Active (http://www.computeractive.co.uk/news/1162408) magazine, said: “This is going to spark a huge price war.”

NTL doesn't appear to drop have dropped it's prices - but their previously-much-slower broadband for 17.99 per month now appears to be 1 Mb, so that doesn't seem bad value for 7.99 more than the UK Online deal - it's some response, anyway.
A tenner's a nice cheap way into broadband tho' (and for 512 Kbps :thumbs: ) - haven't seen it that cheap before. And, unlimited 2Mb broadband for the 19.99 sounds great :D

Blimey, hard to believe only a few years ago businesses were having to pay thousands of pounds per quarter for this sort of service. :no: Amazing how the cost of technology drops isn't it. Brilliant news for consumers methinks. :thumbs:

I think it's important to compare speed as well as price. For example as someone said above, NTL may not have dropped their prices but speed has gone up significantly.
