It is pronounced as et.

Well, you might hear "ett" or "eight" and most of us are fine with that. Some people, though, consider ett frightfully common - but they�re quite often the same people who think �fete� really should be pronounced like �fate�.

So, if we use both, we �re not wrong, are we?

When I lived in Britain, I noticed that people used both "eight" and "et". |
