    Telewest goes live with 2Mb service
    Telewest has launched its 2Mb broadband service following a trial of 1,500 of its blueyonder punters.

    The service costs from £50 a month.

    Said Chad Raube, director of Internet services at Telewest Broadband: "While BT and other major ADSL providers offer a one-size-fits-all service, we recognise people have different needs and provide a menu of cable services to suit.

    The cableco claims eight out of ten of its 2Mb triallists said the service had met or exceeded their expectations.

    The trial caused a stampede in March among punters eager to get their hands on the service. ®

    Well I don't think IBB's 1 Mb, €320.65 inc VAT install and €84.70 inc VAT per month service is that bad lets be honest and I mean 2mb has only just launched in England so we're not really that bad when you think about it as long as IBB are involved.
