New service provider posts broadband bundle
The UK's broadband market has another new service provider to increase the competition further - the Post Office.
Post Office Broadband, run by the Royal Mail, has been launched with a mix of 12-month contracts in an effort to increase revenues for the troubled company.
A duel broadband and home phone deal offers customers an eight Mb internet connection, free weekend and evening phone calls, a free modem and free line rental for £20.95 per month.
The Post Office also offers a broadband service, which includes a connection with up to an eight Mb download speed and a free modem for £15.95 per month.
Earlier this month, the Royal Mail was hit by a series of strikes over pay disputes and changes to employees working conditions.

Speeds in excess of 2 meg are only available in certain areas. Top
speeds vary significantly, particularly according to how far away
you live from the exchange.
If your line won’t support our fastest broadband speed we’ll
give you the best available. The speed you actually get can also vary
depending on the quality of your line, the wiring in your house, the
time of day and even the weather.

I have been on postoffice broadband and home phone for 2 months now and it is fine after 1 or 2 teething problems, no complaints about the bills either.
