AOL UK has launched an unmetered internet access service in the UK.

The flat-rate service, which costs £14.99 a month all in, is currently limited to AOL's longest-standing members.

Those who have joined the service more recently will be allowed to sign up "in subsequent weeks", while everyone else goes to the back of the queue.

The service uses Friaco - a telecoms deal for ISPs that allows them to buy wholesale unmetered connections direct from BT.

In the past year, Friaco has been beset by difficulties, culminating in a revised deal being offered this summer. The slow take-up rate of Friaco has been blamed for the slow roll-out of unmetered access.
