Broadband provider ADSL24 has today become the latest ISP to add 'up to' 40Mb fibre optic ( FTTC ) based HOME and BUSINESS broadband packages to its line-up of UK internet access solutions. Prices start from just £24.99 inc. VAT per month (+£42.00 activation, includes VDSL2 modem) and come with a 30GB peak usage allowance (unlimited off-peak).An ADSL24 Spokesman said:
"We're also running a special half price offer on the setup fee of £42 inc VAT on all Fibre packages which runs until the end of this year. After this, it will return to the standard BT wholesale setup fee of £89 inc VAT. The setup fee includes the cost of activation plus an Openreach engineer visit to install the service professionally and a VDSL2 modem will be provided by the engineer."
