DSL prices down, dialup prices up

BTopenworld is to start charging £15.99 for its BTopenworld Anytime product. The package, which gives users multiple email accounts and unmetered Internet access (up to a point), usually costs £14.99, but in a letter to subscribers last Friday the company announced that the price will increase to £15.99 from 1st May. Account holders will start seeing the increased charge on their next credit card bill after that date, although this is presumably less comforting than the email makes out.
