AOL Price Increases where LLU not available.

"AOL broadband services will now cost £10 more in areas where the company's own LLU service is not available. In these exchanges, AOL instead buys capacity from BT. The development will give extra weight to concerns that the advent of LLU-based broadband services could widen the UK digital divide.
The increase in price for new customers is not entirely surprising, as its new owner, Carphone Warehouse, also charges lower prices for its TalkTalk phone-and-Internet service where it has installed its own kit in BT exchanges. But the amount of the discrepancy is surprising.

Outside the scope of AOL's 300 plus LLU exchanges, the Broadband Silver up-to-2Mbps service will cost £24.99 while the up-to-8Mbps Broadband Platinum will set new subscribers back £39.99, which, as thinkbroadband points out, is a 'pretty high price for a product that while labelled as unlimited does have a fair usage policy'."
