Bulldog has thrown its hat into the ring regarding next-generation broadband, claiming a super fast service could be live very shortly.
Like Easynet before it, Bulldog is opting for ADSL2+, which boasts speeds of 20Mbps.
The trial, which Bulldog has been running since September, will suss out how the connection fares at higher speeds and how customers make use of the new connectivity, the ISP said. If all goes well, Bulldog intends to roll out an ADSL2+ service within the first quarter of this year.
ADSL2+ is one of a number of next-generation broadband technologies being tested by the UK's ISPs. BT recently told silicon.com that it was more likely to turn to VDSL, as ADSL+ often becomes less efficient the further away a user is from an exchange.

Would you like to pay me lots for a service of up to 500mb
Sign up now (10 year minimum contract, to be paid in advance)
You give me the money now, and I'll ask BT to cutoff your current phone and setup a new phone line when they have some excess capacity and staff time.
If you want to contact me - there could (possibly) be an 0870 number to speak to an answering machine, or an 0909 number to allow you to speak to a specially trained customer satisfaction advisor somewhere in the fourth world
(we go that bit further than those who claim to support the third world)
