AOL offers free broadband

AOL is offering one month's free broadband plus free activation for all new punters who sign up before the end of March.

After that, AOL Broadband costs £27.99 a month. Anyone signing up to the promo is also tied in to a minimum 12 month contract for the service.

Anyone taking up the offer will still need to fork out £85 (plus £10 p&p for telephone or online orders) for AOL Broadband's modem pack.

AOL Broadband is currently available as a DSL service, although there are plans for it to be made available on NTL's cable network later this year. ®
