Looks like your bro is buggered then, unless you dip into your wallet for the upfront fee, which is £30.00 at the moment.
 
Entry level Broadband from ISPs via BT wholesale

Sorry I’ve not been able to help you much Bartman, and this is really just a bit of chit-chat, but you may nevertheless be interested in this little bit of news from a week or two ago.
I don't think ISPR picked up on it, therefore you may be unaware of it.

Despite their initial ridicule of Tiscali and it’s 150K Broadband service, it seems BT have had somewhat of a rethink and may well be proposing to offer ISPs a more flexible option of what broadband services will be available via its wholesale division.
This could include an ‘entry level’ bandwidth (of which I presume could be 150K) being available from many more ISPs than at present, therefore your brother may be in with a chance at some point in the future.

From what I saw, prices/options will be announced around springtime, although the actual services may not go live until later this year, so he’s in for a wait even if this idea takes off.

If you’re interested in reading about it, there’s far more detail in a report over on:

Ta paul. I think hes going to have to wait like you say. I did hear something about BT reconsidering due to the success of the 150k services. Never actually thought theyd get round to doing anything about it tho.

Ahh well, at least I have got broadband!:)
 
On a 150k connection you should get a sub-50 ping :)

By the way, I would not go with Tiscali at all because the service is absolutely awful, in more ways than one!
 
Check out pipex you can start on 150 and if you want upgrade for no fee worth checking out faster seems to be better i may be wrong i mostly am..
