A survey has revealed that BT Broadband is the largest ISP in UK with approximately 4,600,00 subscribers. Earlier, it carried a brand-name of BT Yahoo! Broadband and BT Openworld. It is the product of a very successful group called BT Group plc. BT Broadband offers many broadband services at extremely reasonable and attractive prices. It provides broadband as cabled connection, through wi-fi networks and the latest mobile broadband services. Its carefully designed home and business packages fulfill requirements of different users having varied expectations from their connections. Cost of these packages fluctuates according to the prices offered by other service providers.

Broadband connection has three basic elements that define its efficacy and performance. These are availability of the service provider, speed of the connection and the download limit. Availability refers to the provider’s influence and network coverage in an area. BT Broadband has widespread network and latest infrastructure covering majority of UK. Its strength and influence in remote areas is acknowledged by all. Better availability ensures improved broadband services and cheap prices. Speed of any connection is a combination of many factors. Wiring, type of package and network coverage are few important elements that influences the speed. BT Broadband delivers excellent speeds for all their connections. It also maintains minimum difference between the actual speed and the maximum speed for any connection. Many service providers creates false impression regarding their connections by advertising only maximum speeds. While their actual speeds are significantly lower than that. BT Broadband offers various download limits with their packages. Unlimited download deals are also available with their connections. The name assigned to these packages is misleading as they are not truly unlimited. There is a fixed limit covered under the fair usage policy associated with them. BT packages are extremely transparent about such policies and abreast consumers with every necessary information. Service providers tend to charge users for exceeding their download limits without any warnings. This hidden cost is playing a huge role in UK broadband market. Service providers capitalize on the negligence and poor knowledge of users. Broadband bills also carry paper cost and non direct debit payment as additional cost which are actually hidden charges. These costs are mentioned in fine black print at the end of contract.
