I would like to point out 2 things:-

1. Keep it really fast
2. Keep it cheap



if you want more customers keep those two things in mind & bingo those profits will be ever high.

So you want the speeds but not the cost?

Well that makes a load of sense.

How do you think they'd pay for the maintanence of these high speeds?

Can someone explain to me how it costs ntl more to run a higher speed line? For example, is it costing ntl any more to run a 2 mb line as opposed to a 1mb line?:confused:

I suppose they have to buy bandwidth. The web doesn't stop at NTL's infrastructure. With higher speeds, more bits will be transferred (as people will download more/ use more intensive services). Someone will be charging for the amount of data transferred over the web's backbones (that need infrastructure/maintaining).

For example, is it costing ntl any more to run a 2 mb line as opposed to a 1mb line?:confused:Each UBR card has a finite bandwidth available to share between the customers using it. A UBR card can only accomodate half as many customers using their 2Mb connection to the full as it can accomodate 1Mb customers without undue adverse affects on their connections. Therefore as speeds increase more UBR's have to be installed to prevent a deterioration in customers experiences.

Profit by volume, same as any value-led business.
