My feelings are than just an internet connection at a lower price would be of value to some people but it would be the minority on the majority. I use my ntl mailbox's but I will eventually be moving over to a hosting package with
www.123reg.co.uk,
www.estratospherehosting.com or some other company. I also don't use the ntl webspace, and i've not been used newsgroups for sometime, and if I did need them I would either pay money to subscribe to one or erm use the newsgroups in work, theres a newsgroup server downstairs connected to SuperJanet 4 (that'll do nicely!)
But I do feel that a cut down internet service for a few pounds less would be of benefit, I would find another IP address/IP lease more useful than mail, news, and webspace.
