Press Release Summary = Broadband Genie introduces super-fast broadband, with a rate
of 22Mbps.

Press Release Body = Super-fast broadband is now available from Broadband Genie (
http://www.broadbandgenie.co.uk ), the comparison specialist which allows consumers
to compare broadband online. This latest offering is courtesy of UK Online, which is
now offering breakneck broadband speeds of up to 22Mbps (some 400 times faster than
traditional dialup)

But Broadband Genie is warning consumers not to get carried away by the sudden surge
in broadband speeds. Philip Wilkinson, Broadband Genie CEO, said:

"ADSL2+ technology is undoubtedly going to provide the UK with faster broadband, but
consumers should be aware that these new super-fast speeds are only currently
available to a fraction of the population. The broadband speed available to you
depends on such things as how close to a telephone exchange you live.

"Anyone considering buying broadband or changing provider should also bear in mind
that speed is not the be-all-and-end-all: other vital considerations include price,
usage limits, and extras such as free modems, PC security, and so on.

"We recommend that you start by using the Broadband Genie comparison search to find
out exactly what is available in your area."
