The PostOffice (Royal Mail) has cut the price of its broadband and home phone (line rental) packages by between £1 and £3 per month. The group, which claims to have racked up an impressive 500,000 customers since the service launched last summer, has also increased some of its voice call charges:


The biggest price change award goes to their 'HomePhone with Broadband Standard' package, which has dropped from £22.95 per month to just £19.95. This 'up to' 8MBps package includes line rental + calls, 5GB of monthly usage, free connection, free modem, UK based support, 5 emails with anti-spam/virus protection and 50MB webspace.

Naturally all packages require customers to sign-up with a 12 month contract and the 'Extra' option includes "unlimited" downloads, subject to the usual Fair Usage Policy (FUP). The service is based off BT's white label managed broadband ADSL product and not an unbundled (LLU) platform.
