* AOL Regional Pricing
AOL have introduced a new regional pricing strategy whereby you pay the prices noted above if you live in an AOL Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) active area (which currently includes around 70% of the UK). The prices are cheaper as AOL are less dependent on BT for your broadband provision.
If you don't live in an AOL LLU area prices are £19.99 for Silver and £39.99 for Platinum. Concerned about what price you are going to pay?
