BT Yahoo! Details New Packages

Posted: 14th Oct, 2005 By: MarkJ

BT Yahoo!'s broadband ADSL services are to be enhanced come 24th October 2005. Improved content, new packages and a future 8Mbps (ADSL Max) product are all outlined:

BT Broadband Option 1, which costs £17.99 a month, will now provide access to a premium Yahoo! broadband experience and a full range of leading tools and services. These include a premium level customisable radio station, access to the Webs largest catalogue of music video streamed at higher bit rates, a personalised broadband homepage with access to more than 750,000 content sources from across the Web, award-winning premium e-mail with industry-leading spam protection with 2Gb of storage for primary accounts.

A new package, BT Broadband Option 2, is priced at £22.99 a month. This will additionally offer a wireless router from just £25* and best of class enhanced security including PC anti-virus and firewall software for further protection. Options 3 and 4 will offer a wireless router for free along with other enhanced features.

Gavin Patterson, BT group managing director, Consumer, said: BT led the way when we gave customers up to four times the connection speed for no added cost and now we are offering more features for free. For instance, we will be offering inclusive Evening and Weekend UK calls over the internet with Broadband Talk for an extra £2 a month**, and you make the calls using your usual handset.

Following the announcement from BT Wholesale yesterday that they will be trialing speeds of 8 Mb, I can confirm that BT Retail will be joining these trials in November and we will be introducing speeds of up to 8Mb when available in Spring next year, in preparation for the launch of BTs TV over broadband offering later in the summer.
