A fast-growing number of firms now offer broadband connections
|
Mobile phone retailer Carphone Warehouse is expected to announce the launch of a free broadband service later this week.
The company looks poised to provide free access for customers who sign up to its Talk Talk landline service.
A Carphone spokeswoman said that it could not comment on speculation but it did have plans to expand its broadband service in 2006.
The move could lead to a big shake-up among internet providers.
Fast-growing sector
The news comes after satellite broadcaster BSkyB confirmed last week that it is to start offering broadband connections from this autumn.
BSkyB is also predicted to offer a number of low-cost deals, and it and Carphone Warehouse's move into the market is expected to start a price war.
The UK broadband sector is currently dominated by BT, AOL, Wanadoo and NTL.
