Something we missed earlier this month, is that BT's no frills BT Broadband, offering basic broadband access with very little else, has suddenly (and quietly) acquired some of those missing frills.

From 1st April, BT added 5 email addresses to its most basic offering, thanks to BTYahoo, to its funnily enough called "BT Broadband Basic". The service is available at 1Mbps only, and comes with a 1GB monthly cap. The service costs £17.99 per month (inclusive of VAT).

"BT Broadband" is BTs 2Mbps option, and again comes with the equivocal 5 email addresses courtesy of BTYahoo, although with the increased bandwidth comes a higher, 15GB monthly cap. The service costs £24.99 (inclusive of VAT).

Interesting, the difference between BT Broadband and BT Yahoo Broadband has always been slight, and with the introduction of email addresses on the cheaper BT Broadband titled products, the different is even less.

Comparing both BT Broadband's and BT Yahoo Broadband's 2Mbps 15GB cap products, sees BT Yahoo customers paying an additional £2 for 6 extra email addresses (11 in total), which some users may feel is not justifiable, especially when many free email accounts are available elsewhere.
