Following on from BT Consumer dropping its contracts from 18 months to 12 months, a new low price offer on Infinity 2 (up to 76 Mbps) has emerged.

Terms have been agreed on the sale of EE to BT and an interesting side effect is that Deutsche Telekom gains a 12% stake in the BT Group as a result.

Sky appears keen to continue growing its broadband user base, with its latest offer that includes a large voucher alongside free broadband.

EE has updated its offer pricing with ADSL2+ at £2.50 per month for the minimum term, and the offer price for FTTC services has reduced too.

The news that Sky added 106,000 broadband customers in the last quarter is eclipsed by the stats from the 6.5 million Sky boxes using Sky on Demand.

Fuel Broadband formerly known as Primus Saver have upped their broadband offer to now be 12 months free, meaning all you need to pay for their ADSL2+ service (if available to you) is the £15 per month voice line rental.

The LLU providers have never enjoyed buying services from BT Wholesale in areas where they have not unbundled an exchange and now TalkTalk has sold its off-net customers to Daisy Group.

Last year Direct Save Telecom started reselling a service over the IFNL FTTH network and a reminder has been sent out by IFNL to promote new low cost entry level speeds on the service.

While the free Netflix and bill credits may have ended over at Virgin Media their 100 Mbps broadband and TV bundle is running at a lower price for the first 12 months now.

The BT third quarter results for 2014 show that take-up of FTTC/P services is continuing to accelerate and 44% of those were on providers external to the BT Group.
