[UK-Bug] News .. Telewest hits new low cap limit

Bug is available again for all those that had problems last night. An
announcement will be put up when full details are made available as to
the exact cause of the downage (but it seems to be a problem with a
GIG-E link in the US.

Anway, small bit of news for ya ..

On the back of news last weeks news article citing broadband from BT
for under £20, it seems Telewest have responded, but announcing plans
of a product that will be just £2 above BTs narrow band products. The
product also comes with the lowest cap that any broadband offering has
seen to date.
