    The Reg
    Tiscali UK is to offer an always-on high-speed Internet service for £19.99 a month, it confirmed today.

    The service is a 256 kbps ADSL service, which is five times faster than a bog standard dial-up connection. The cost of activating the line is £50. It will be available to almost everyone who can obtain BT-based ADSL services.

    The ISP claims this new service bridges the gap in the market between unmetered dial-up services (which typically cost around £15 a month) and full-on ADSL broadband services provided by the UK's big ISPs.
