Late last year BT revealed its intention to cut wholesale broadband ADSL prices once unbundled (LLU) lines had passed the 1.5m mark, which has already occurred. Today the operator has revealed what the new prices will be.

Thinkbroadband has the full low-down on the new pricing structure - HERE. One good example is the Capacity Based Charging 'MAX' (CBC MAX) product, which many will be familiar with as an 'up to 8Mbps' service.

The connection fee for this and many other products has been reduced from £40 to £34.86, while the monthly rental sees a cut from £8.40 to £7.63. These reductions are somewhat offset by the introduction of a new £33.75 cessation charge:


Overall any reductions, especially to the more complex area of bandwidth capacity, mean that a typical service should cost slightly less to offer than it did before. We do not expect, given the cessation charge, many ISPs to pass these savings on.

The changes will come into effect from 1st May 2007 next month and no doubt some ISP's will be issuing their responses to BT's new pricing over the coming days and weeks.
