Pay as you Go Broadband

£10 buys users up to 200 megabytes of data with every megabyte thereafter charged at a quarter of a penny, with a maximum charge of £23.99.

With this you are getting the best of both worlds. If you don't use the service much then you don't pay that much but if you do then you aren't writing a blank cheque

Ian Fogg, Jupiter Research
Users wanting a higher speed one megabit service will pay between £23 and £29.79 depending on usage.

There is also a one-off activation fee of £59.

so in essence, the maximum charge allows you to get 10gb's.

The question is what happens if you want to download more than that? I presume that by max charge, they mean no matter how much you download, thats all you'll be charged.

Otherwise, its just another capped service.

It seems ok for just normal usage. Most people here that have BB will often d/l games/patches/mp3s/windows updates and probably loads of porn.
But for your normal user that is just after some fast browsing, email and d/l a windows update here and there it would be ok.

Yip - 1 Gig - they also have it in Ireland too - but they don't enforce it - unless you are completely taking the piss - then they ask you to go easy bla bla
