Cable company NTL is offering 1MB broadband access for just £9.99 a month to people applying between June 1 and July 11. The pricing lasts for a year, after which it goes up to the standard £17.99 a month, but there are no start-up charges.
The service is capped at 3GB a month at both prices, but NTL says few of its users exceed that limit.
Existing customers will not be able to claim the new rate SHAME . Chris Bunyan, director of Internet product management, said most of them had already taken advantage of other sign-up offers, such as free line rental.
Bunyan would not comment about reports of revived talks about a long-predicted merger with Britain's other UK cable giant Telewest. The two are not strictly rivals as they cover different franchise areas.
