No such thing as a free breakfast

No such thing as a free breakfast posted 2nd May 2002

Yesterday morning I had a ‘free’ breakfast courtesy of Easynet. BT have finally got around to unbundling the local loop around here and Easynet are cashing in by offering local businesses Broadband for Breakfast™ (yes it is a trade mark).

Fellow pillars of the local business community and I were given a jolly nice cooked brekkie at the Ha Ha Bar and then spoken to about new broadband offerings. Said products seemed pretty cheap but more importantly they avoid anything to do with the diabolical BT or NTL.
