Vodafone enters the broadband market

The market really is reaching saturation point with Vodafone now being the latest mobile operator to move into ADSL. They're requiring an 18 month contract and charging £25/month for monthly contract customers, £35/month otherwise.

The story at IT week reporting it backs up the view that we might yet see an unmetered dial-up style consolidation of broadband providers:
Industry analysts are predicting that smaller ISPs will not be able to compete with offerings from the big providers such as BSkyB, BT and Virgin Media boasting triple play (voice, video and data) options.

Current Analysis analyst Sandra O’Boyle said, “We are very close to saturation point in broadband and more consolidation is inevitable."
