AOL UK has signed extended distribution deals with Comet and the Carphone Warehouse to flog its broadband service and ADSL starter kits.

Comet is promoting and distributing AOL Broadband in its 260 stores across the UK. The Carphone Warehouse will begin punting the service next year.

Both deals are extensions of existing agreements that AOL has with Comet and the Carphone Warehouse for AOL's narrowband service.

Today's announcement represent a further step in AOL's strategy directly to target UK consumers with AOL Broadband, said the Internet outfit in a statement. ®
