From June this year Sky will be simplifying its broadband packages. Sky will be presenting customers with the choice of two broadband packages, both offering speeds of up to 20Mbps.
The package for leisurely internet users is called the Sky Everyday Lite. It gives 2GB of monthly usage and is free to customers with Sky TV and Talk telephone packages. For customers who are only registered with Sky TV, you can receive this broadband package for an extra £5 per month.
Customers who are currently on the existing Sky Broadband Base package will be upgraded to Sky Everyday Lite automatically throughout the summer.

The weather might have got a little warmer, but PlusNet is keeping us cool by offering a price freeze to all subscribers who sign up before 29th March.
The broadband provider has announced that customers who register for a PlusNet broadband package before the 29th are guaranteed the price will stay the same for the next 12 months at least.
PlusNet Broadband offers both home and business broadband packages from only £5.99 a month with up to 20Mpbs broadband.
This offer comes to us after the recent news that PlusNet has been putting the final touches on the installation of its 622Mbps central pipe, meaning that there will be more bandwidth to share amongst subscribers.

From the 1st of March onwards O2 mobile phone and mobile broadband customers can earn £50 if they sign up for O2 Home Broadband. Punters who opt for either the Premium or Pro packages, both of which provide top speeds of 20Mbps, will see £50 credit tacked onto their mobile bills.
This offer applies to mobile phone and mobile broadband subscribers on pay monthly and pay as you go. This could pay for five months of mobile broadband if you’re on the 18 month 1GB plan, or two months on the least expensive 24 month iPhone 3GS tariff.
If customers are not already with O2 mobile they can still take advantage of the offer and simply buy a mobile product within 30 days of purchasing O2 Premium or Pro Broadband. This also applies to the SIM-Onle (pay as you go) tariffs.
O2 mobile customers can sign up for O2 Premium costs £10 a month, or O2 Pro for £17.50. Premium and Pro both provide speeds of up to 20Mbps and unlimited downloads. The only difference is that the Pro package allows for faster upload speeds – up to 2.5 Mbps compared to the 1.3Mbps maximum upload of Premium.

Whilst BT is surging ahead with its BT Infinity and Virgin Media is busy pooh-poohing its rivals efforts, Eclipse Internet has quietly unveiled a couple of cable services of its own which are due to go online in the 12th of April.
According to Think Broadband, the services make use of BT’s fibre networks so it looks as though some sort of wholesale agreement has been reached. Looks like the Tories won’t have to break up BT after all – even if they do win the election.
The two services, called Eclipse Fibre and Eclipse Fibre Pro, both offer top speeds of 40Mbps and interestingly both guarantee speeds of at least 12Mbps throughout.
Not next-gen speeds you’ll agree but it’s good to see an ISP being straight with its customers about what the speeds will be at their absolute slowest.

The last thing we heard from TalkTalk regarding connection fees for online orders for broadband is that they were to be free indefinitely.
Noting that ‘indefinitely’ doesn’t always mean forever, we’ve been checking back at the TalkTalk website and we’re pleased to report that this is still the case.
Connection normally costs £29.99 but is still free for those who order either of the Essentials or Pro packages from TalkTalk online

It’s been a while since the launch of Virgin Media – just over 3 years in fact.
You’d be surprised to learn then that it’s taken this long for the business arm of NTL:Telewest to be rebranded as Virgin Media Business.
Richard Branson presided over the re-brand aiming to “shake up the UK business telecoms market” and build on the success of Virgin Media in the domestic market by consolidating the brand under “one common offering”.
The company is said to be ploughing money into its networks, provisioning functions and ad campaigns based around the rebrand.
However the option of paying for access to BT’s high speed tunnels has not yet been dismissed by the company.
