NTL Launch Broadband Plus (12 Nov 2003)

NTl's New Bandwidth Grabbing Addon - But Is It Capped?

Ntl have launched a new addon service to their 600kbps and 1Mbps broadband offerings: Broadband Plus: Your Ticket to the best of Broadband.

It offers "amazing value" with "around £30.00 of content for only an additional £3.99 a month" (there's also a 3 month free trial offer). It gives you premium access to sites such as BBCi (we thought anyone should be able to get that?), "hundreds" of online games, 16 premium music channels, Downloads or streams of over 200,000 music tracks and live performances from MTV, etc and so on. Whoopee!

But before you cough up your hard earnt dosh, just remember the cap. We haven't seen anywhere that ntl are increasing your daily limit to let you make use of the bandwidth hogging services ntl have just flogged to you.

Does the right hand know what the left hand is doing at the complete communications company?
