Thanks to the efforts of CUT and others, British Telecom have finally caved in and offered a set of unmetered tariffs for Net access in the UK.
The prices are reported to be set at: - £6.99 per month for off-peak (6pm-8am) weekday access
- £13.99 per month for off-peak (6pm-8am) weekday and weekend access
- £34.99 per month for unrestricted access
It works out such that if you spend 3 hours a week or more online, you'll be saving money. It looks like you have to be both a BT phone customer and a customer of their ISP (or an ISP which has BT as its connectivity provider) to benefit from this deal. Get the full story at the BBC.
