Taking control of your Broadband

Control how much you spend
Each Broadband Your Way Option comes with a usage allowance. Extra usage is just 75p per GB if you add it upfront or £1 per GB if you just pay for any extra as you use it. If you know you don’t want to pay any extra you can set a price limit (if you reach your limit your line is restricted to 128kbps and advanced protocols - Usenet, P2P and FTP - are blocked until the end of your billing month. A limit is set as standard if you choose a pre-defined option).

Control how much you use
Whether you go online a couple of times a week, or you're an Internet addict, Broadband Your Way is flexible enough to give you the usage you need.

Control what you do online
Lose yourself in online games, download music and movies and connect to the office with VPN. Create your own Broadband Your Way option that's suitable for all this and more.
