No I expect the price to fall, as the cost of provision falls - year on year.
The cost to NTL for cable modems has fallen (as has the upstream kit too UBRs etc), the cost to NTL of servers and storage has fallen, the cost to NTL for external bandwidth has fallen, the cost to NTL for interest payments has fallen (post chapter 11), the cost of support staff has fallen (presumably with redunacies and outsourcing). Is it not reasonable then to expect the cost of service to the customer to also fall?
