| 1169385 | 2011-01-12 21:42:00 | Does this mean we'll get cheaper DSL and\or bigger data allowances? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1169386 | 2011-01-12 21:46:00 | Does this mean we'll get cheaper DSL and\or bigger data allowances? I doubt it, but we *should* get much more consistent speeds. :p |

| 1169388 | 2011-01-12 22:04:00 | The article talks about entry-level plans offering 100GB/month - that sounds like total fantasy, as the companies would have all their premium customers effectively dropping down to this 'budget' account - not something they'll willingly offer. | Paul.Cov (425) | ||

| 1169391 | 2011-01-12 22:17:00 | They have raised 5 million, but the article say they need 400 million to go ahead! That is a lot of money to raise. Will we get cheaper broadband or big caps ? That's a tricky questions especially when you consider that fibre to the home has to be paid for by someone - the end user ? Thirdly - if you took out all the movie downloads I wonder how big a cable we would need ? |

| 1169392 | 2011-01-12 22:25:00 | Just bigger data caps, basically, as theres still maintenance of the physical infrastructure which costs regardless of how freely data is available. Pricing *ought* to stay the same, but with the possibility of 10 -> 100x bigger data caps :) They're going to run it at a loss at first, presuming that over time it'll more than pay for itself. Apparently the SCC was also done-so, only in the last year or two having broken even? Though I could be mistaken there ... |
