That's correct. According th BT's web page. 39.99 inc VAT for consumer
single computer connection, 39.99 plus vat for a business single user, both
with USB/WinXX. A multiuser business connection will cost 99.99 plus vat and
includes a router/10baseT port if I read it correctly.

Of course, all this will get you is a Microsoft Portal?
