BT today confirmed the wholesale pricing for its new 1Mbps ADSL service, which becomes commercially available from November 20.

The wholesale connection charge for this self-install product has been set at £50 - although existing BT ADSL punters should be able to upgrade for £35.

The wholesale fee for the BT IPStream Home 1000 product has been set at £23. Don't forget that ISPs have to add their retail margins for these products.

To date than 50 ISPs have taken part in the trials and more than 4,000 punters have signed up to the broadband service.

BT reckons this take-up is "well ahead of expectations" and has helped it move "swiftly to a full launch". ®
