I see from http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2008/may/30/btgroupbusiness.bt 
that, far from the cheaper wholesale broadband prices we have been led to 
believe we will get from BT, they are set to be INCREASED so that we will be 
paying even mode for BT's inefficiency, management bonuses and out of date 
technology relative to many other countries.

Any ideas how this will affect future AAISP prices?

At present no announced price rises for BT, and we have firm plans for 
reductions in around 2 months time.

But if BT do put up our costs, we'll have to review that.

That article appears to relate to LLU, which we don't use.

If LLU increases that affects the cheaper of the ISPs that compete with 
us :-)
