It seems that BTYahoo have finally deemed that their unlimited BTYahoo Broadband service must become capped. Although there is good news as well, as it appears theres to be a "substantial" reduction in service rental on the cards as well.

It's important to note at this point, that the details on the following web site have not officially been announced. Do NOT contact BTYahoo about this. The capping will not become effective until early 2005.

Details on a special preview BT web site list that the cap will be 15Gb per month. However, reading between the lines it appears that BTYahoo will introduce a two tiered service, one charging users "substantially less" than what we guess must be the current £29.99, with a 15Gb monthly allocation. "Substantial" might be relative however - advertising on the 'preview' website lists "Broadband from £26.99". Is £3 substantial ?

Second option, we guess sees the retention of the £29.99 rental charge, but upping the usage allowance to 30Gb a month.

In both cases, an additional 1Gb of transfer allowance would be purchasable at £2, although its stressed that there might be alternative options to help reduce this additional transfer allowance cost.

You can read the details on a special "preview" web site here but you'd best be quick, as BT might decide to take this URL down quicker than you can download it - if your on broadband anyway ;o)
