NTL have just changed their business broadband products speeds to match the residential versions.

750k for £25 a month or 1.5m for £35

This would suggest that the residential product could be in line for a price revision followed by a 2m product for £40 and a 3m product for £50 perhaps.

If I remember right the 1.5mg is £37.99 not £35?

correct the residential price is £38 which is why I said "This would suggest that the residential product could be in line for a price revision"

Yes I would be quite happy paying £50 for 3Meg and I dont give a monkeys what other companies are doing tbh.

Im very happy with NTLs service and would be quite happy to pay that for a 3Meg service.

If its released next year and cheaper then hoorah!!!!

You sound like you need a new job dude, my employer does demand a fair bit from me, however at the same time I'm paid 'reasonably' for what I do. IF your employer is shafting you that badly time to look elsewhere methinks.

Though that's another thread entirely.....

Nah thanks I retired several years ago ;) feel for the many who are in the shaft position though

Ok sorry bout that back to topic :)

Quite clearly what BT are delivering now is all they are capable of delivering at this time.
Bummer, for me as well, 3Mbit would have been sweet :)

I will not even bother replying to that thread on ADSL guide that is one reason I feel people should wait for the official release of the news.

certainly looks that way from a 'standard english' reading (i.e not using an NTL dictionary).

Just had a quick google and the only words that are very similar came from Telewest in 2002 Q4
