Telewest, Yorkshire Cable's parent company, has launched its high-speed internet service in Bradford.

The company said the broadband service, called blueyonder, operates ten times faster than conventional versions and features an always-on connection to the net.

Chad Raube, from Telewest, said: "People can access the web in an instant, without frustrating waits.

"They can stay on as long as they wish without paying a penny in phone charges."
