p2p news / p2pnet:- UK broadband provider Be says it’ll offer 24-meg connections —– at £1 (about $1.76) per meg.

“The bandwidth offered by the new service will be enough to allow consumers to stream two high definition TV channels through their computer simultaneously, while they surf their internet or make voice calls,” says the Guardian Online.

“The service will also allow customers to upload information onto the internet at a speed of up to 1.3 megabits a second – five times quicker than any other service on the market.”

The national rollout will begin in major cities and take up to a year to complete, the story has Be spokesman Paul Smyth saying.

Customers will get a “Be Box” wireless router including two phone ports, and Be is also planning VoIP online phone services, says the Guardian.
