ADSL for under £20

"UK consumers can get broadband access for under £20 per month for the first time.

In the last week, ET Global Solutions launched a rock-bottom residential USB package for £18.95 (including VAT) and fairADSL began offering an ADSL package costing £18.99 per month.

There's an activation fee of around £60 for both services, and then (in common with other ISPs) consumers will have to fork out for ADSL modems and a micro-filter. Both packages are (naturally enough) self-install."

 

Hmmm.
£60.00 divided by 12 months = £5 per month
so it's really £25.00 per month. Things may change after a year so only divide by 12. Filters are £60, modem £85 (or the other way around). Still not as neat as an installed by a specialist Telewest's half or one meg service - with a free help line (no 50p per minute charges).
