|  Need details on charges,but sounds like a bad idea
While the article is skimpy on the details and the BE web site has no details either, a "pay as you go" option on a high speed broadband connection makes little sense. The whole purpose of high speed "on all the time" broadband is to feed the maw of huge downloads of music, video, P2P, gaming, etc. And somehow I doubt the price structure will be cheaper than the current Be £24/mo($41.84/mo) fee for unlimited usage.
Below are the details on their on all the time, no caps, regular offering:

Up to 24 meg download speed
Up to 1.3 meg upload speed
Unlimited Internet access
No download caps
Free high specification wireless Be Box modem

Be home 24 meg Paid quarterly in advance, for the provision of your monthly home broadband Services. The first payment will be pro-rated from the time of connection to the end of the quarter £ 24.00 So, while the option is intriguing, I doubt it would be advantageous to the majority of broadband customers.
P.S. Found some details here:
»www.adslguide.org.uk/
Be is set to announce full details of a new product later in January 2006, Be lite. The product will offer an ADSL2+ service for less than £15, with a bundled usage allowance, and after that it will become a pay as you go service.
A pay as you go service which runs at up to 24Mbps, with the speed you get depending largely on the distance from the exchange, seems something of a misnomer. The appeal of the service will depend largely on the cost of extra allowance once the bundled usage has been used, but for people who use their broadband rarely but want the fastest possible speeds it may present an attractive deal.
