There's a lot of interest today in the BT broadband story. I did a piece on Five Live last night, pointing out how my company has to pay £300 a month to get slow speed internet access, whilst a business in a town or city pays £30 for a high speed connection.

Telewest has announced that it is launching a 1megabit connection - twice the speed of BT's at lower cost. This is looking like something big! Fingers crossed that all these guys continue to put the same effort into installing the equipment in the exchanges as they put into their PR and marketing departments.

I have just come off the phone from BT cancelling my ISDN2E connection that does not work with my company server because BT have disabled static IP connection via BT Surtime Anytime. [Soon to be renamed "BT Surftime Anytime as long as its not static IP because we've got you by the short and curlies there sunshine!"]
