i don't think ntl will increase the price of the base pack, it will become extremely uncompetative and, well, i'll be cancelling £8.50 is really too much for what you get - i mean look at telewest, you get loads more for the same price! it's stupid.
who knows, maybe the ntl base pack price will go down, to make it better value for analogue subscribers?? (i hope it does!!
)
