BT has followed
Wanadoos promotion yesterday by launching its own broadband speed boost today, making 2Mbps ADSL a standard for everybody on BTBB. Unlike its rival, BT's upgrades are both free and automatic for existing subscribers:
In February, BT gave all its retail broadband customers speeds up to four times faster at no extra cost.
Now existing customers on Broadband Basic, BTs entry level service, will start to be migrated from up to 1Mb to up to 2 Mb from tomorrow. And new customers on Brodband Basic will receive up to 2Mb as standard.Typically existing usage allowances remain unchanged and being able to receive 2Mbps is subject to line quality. We are currently preparing to adjust our own ADSL ISP listings to make 2Mbps the standard speed.
