It is with great sorrow and sadness that I am writing this article for it is with regret I have to inform our readers, that Martin Allberrey, known to most on the forums as 'Icarus', has recently died.

As each year passes we look back at how the last twelve months has changed the broadband world and what we're looking forward to in the coming year.

On the morning of Friday 22 April, we published a news article regarding PlusNet's Fair Usage Policy being replaced with a new system for managing their broadband platform.
