ADSLGuide reports that BT is preparing to start a new migration pilot for end-users wishing to change from an IPstream (BT) based ADSL service to a Datastream (non-BT) one:
The Datastream market is growing rapidly and offers users the chance of 1Mbps or 2Mbps ADSL at the sort of price home users want to pay. One thing that is holding back many people who already have ADSL from converting is the length of time it takes to move between the two products. The pilot is intended to get this gap down to less than one day.Migration is expected to cost £50 +vat, with prices moving lower as greater automation is introduced into the process.
