I'm looking to sign up. At last I can ditch my steam driven dial-up for only an additional fiver a month.

All credit to Tesco for throwing down the gauntlet.

Joey,
It's 512k unlimited download. I registered last week waiting for my free modem and line activation now.

Em,
Yes, it's the food store. They get into all areas of business these days i.e. communications, finance, clothing, electronics etc. I think it's a good thing because they try to break the cartels and drive prices down.

Update.

Up and running now and it has been pretty straight forward. After the line checks by BT a date for line activation was given and a modem was on its way.

The modem arrived on the morning of activation. Set-up was no problem load software, plug in box and away to go.

One thing I didn't know was that I had to install a micro filter at every phone point that was being used by equipment i.e. phone, fax, answering machine etc. because it will interfere with your download rate.

Before I learned of the above I was getting 30KB/s now with all microfilters installed I am getting 60KB/s.

There has been some bad reports on Tesco BB but my early experience has been positive.
