During a routine check we noticed that UK ISP BT<\/a> appears to have reduced some of its prices and refocused all of their home broadband products around “unlimited<\/em>” usage, which has resulted in the removal of their 10GB capped ADSL2+ and the 40GB BTInfinity<\/a> (FTTC<\/a>) broadband packages.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The decision isn’t terribly surprising as BT<\/a>’s promotional prices for their “unlimited<\/em>” packages were occasional being placed lower than those of their normally cheaper capped data usage options, which may have caused some confusion for consumers.<\/p>\n

Similarly Ofcom<\/a>’s data shows that the average monthly data usage per broadband connection is now 82GB (GigaBytes), rising to 112GB on “superfast<\/em>” packages, which further suggests that BT<\/a>’s 10GB and 40GB options were beginning to look a bit out of place against a background of ever rising demand.<\/p>\n

None of this is to say that BT won’t re-add a capped package again in the future, but for the time being they appear to be focused on only providing a selection of three “unlimited<\/em>” usage packages, which have also benefited from a modest price reduction.<\/p>\n
