BT in hot water with ASA

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has reprimanded BT for its claim that it has the "best performing broadband".
Its claim was based on independent surveys conducted by Eptiro in January 2006 and January 2008.
However, Virgin Media appealed to the ASA, complaining that BT did not make it clear that the results only took into account ASDL connections.

Virgin goes mobile

Virgin Media today became the latest company to enter the mobile broadband market.
The provider's first ever mobile broadband package costs £15 a month and comes with a free USB modem. Included in the price is 3GB of data, which the company claimed is enough for 100 hours of internet access and 2,000 emails.
All customers will be required to take out an 18-month contract, although those who also opt to sign up for Virgin Media's XL home broadband package will receive the mobile service free for three months.
