According to BT, blanket broadband coverage of the UK should be possible by 2005, which is what government minister Stephen Timms is calling for.

But when your local exchange finally gets it's 'Ready for Service' date, who will you choose as your broadband supplier?

Before you decide, check our great deals and look at the list of compelling reasons for choosing Tradaweb as your broadband internet partner.

For more than 10 years, 'Voice over IP' has threatened to deliver the ultimate internet 'killer application' with its promise of ultra-cheap, or maybe even free, telephone calls to anywhere in the world.

Now, the widespread adoption of broadband for the connection of homes and businesses to the internet makes Voice over IP a reality and offers savings on telephone calls of 75% or more - free of charge for calls to other VoIP subscribers.

You can even save over 50% on all weekday UK national telephone calls.

Maybe you don't want the blinding speed of your own broadband connection but just want the convenience of an always-on connection.

Maybe a slower connection of 256Kbits/sec or even 128Kbits/sec is fast enough for your needs if it were available at a lower price.

Maybe you haven't got a BT telephone.

Maybe you just want to save money.

Whatever the reason, shared broadband could be the answer.
