For a mere £1 extra you can get ADSL
500k download,
250k upload, an upload even double that of ntl's 600k BB offering, which has only a 128k.
Plus.net offers that at £18.99 (500k download, 250k upload). NTL just offers 150k (172k with the added 22K) download, 64k upload at £17.99. So, who wouldn't pay the £1 extra for getting so much more from Plus.net?
NTL is just not competitive against the numerous choices of ADSL providers that are now available. You can do far better than ntl, by switching to ADSL, which is now so simple and hassle-free to do. (There is more on switching in the section - 'Alternatives to ntl').
Plus.net is just one of those alternative choices that are open to you, ("Best Broadband ISP" Award 2003, PC Pro magazine) ("Best ISP on the Planet" Award 2003 Internet Magazine).
The competition against ntl is now so very strong, that ntl will continue to fall behind, until they start to become more competitive.
The answer to the question 'why people use ntl', is in this case, why indeed?
