Further details about NTL's rumoured ADSL service have surfaced today, along with some of our readers stating that the operator has now told them about it over the phone:
Its "ntl:freedom broadband" service will cost £27.99 a month for a 512k service and comes with 15 email accounts and 55MB of Web space. The package is wrapped up with NTL's "off-net" 321 phone tariff, whereby local and national calls cost 3p minute during the day, 2p a minute in the evenings and 1p a minute during weekends.
NTL is also to offer a "Broadband International" package for £29.99 a month. The package is the same as NTL's "Broadband" offer except that it includes the cableco's "International Call Plan" aimed at punters who make calls overseas.The Register notes that both options are expected to include a free connection and modem, although we can't help but wonder if theyll have a usage cap.
The launch date is still expected to be 1st July, although this should all be considered speculation until a formal announcement. If it is true then they're not doing a very good job of keeping it under wraps ;).
