BT Confirms Summer Midband Launch
Posted: 18th Mar, 2003 By: MarkJ
BT has confirmed that its ISDN style 'midband' service, which is designed for those living outside of broadbands reach, will officially be available to the public from the summer.
Full details and pricing are still expected to be revealed sometime during early April next month:
The Register understands that while the service - described by one insider as similar to a flat-rate ISDN service - will be unmetered it will also be capped.
The price for the service has yet to be set although it's understood that it is unlikely to much cheaper than current ADSL services.
Critically, BT points out that the service is not broadband - a point the telco is keen to stress.
Most already feel that midband will be nothing more than a useless gimmick. Never the less it'll still be interesting to see whether it holds any advantage over BTs existing / expensive Home Highway service.
