Premium content designed for ntl's 600Kbps and 1Mbps broadband Internet offerings will shortly be available under the name Broadband Plus.
Although no launch date is currently publicly known for the service, the URL to the barker information for Broadband Plus is easily-guessable (ntlworld.com/broadbandplus/), as pointed out by forum member 'Scottishwhite' on the ntl Internet forum here at Digital Spy.
When the service does launch, current subscribers to ntl's 600Kbps and 1Mbps services will apparently receive three months free access to the premium content available. Thereafter, subscribers who wish to continue receiving the content will have to pay £3.99 per month.
Content to be found on the service is mainly entertainment in nature - Tweenies on Demand from BBCi, a 24/7 music video channel from MTV, known as MTV Live, more music videos from the likes of VidZone and Video.tv, and Internet gaming from game.net. Other services include videos from Encyclopedia Britannica, music downloads from Download365, education resources from Espresso, news archive footage from Newsplayer, game downloads from Freeloader, celebrity documentaries from Screenplayer, and World Cup football events from Pure World Cup. Other notable content on the service include sixteen Music Choice channels and Frost.tv, a channel featuring Sir David Frost.
