BROADBAND FROM BT LAUNCHES NEW SOCCER SIX WEBSITE
The site, which has been created by Broadband from BT as broadband and narrowband resource for Soccer Six fans, is split into three sections, one for each of the events at Newcastle, Liverpool and London. On the day of each event fans will be able to access live, hourly photographs and news updates, while full video highlights will be available the next day. In addition, the site contains all the latest event and celebrity team information, a competition to win the ultimate broadband gaming experience - an Xbox console, Xbox Live kit and a one year free broadband subscription from Broadband from BT*, as well as an archive of photographs and video highlights from last year's Soccer Six tournament. There's also a football 'keepy uppy' game which you can play online. So to put your ball skills to the test and to get a piece of this year's Soccer Six action go to www.soccer-six.com .
