Business broadband charges to fall
A number of internet service providers are cutting the cost of asymetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) broadband access to business customers - and more are expected to follow suit.

UK Datanet, V21, Eclipse Internet, Zen Internet and Plusnet have all said they would pass on to business customers some of the cost savings they will make from 1 May, when BT cuts the cost of its wholesale business ADSL products.
In some cases the savings to small businesses could be considerable with the ISPs offering savings of up to 40 per cent on their monthly broadband bills.
Customers of providers such as Eclipse and V21 will see bills drop to £34 per month for a 512Kbps connection.
Sadly for consumers, ISPs that were contacted by VNU News Centre, such as AOL, Freeserve and Tiscali, said they had no plans to cut the price of ADSL at the moment.
