Not wishing to be left behind, Telewest rival NTL is also upping the speed of its net connections for free.
Its services will start at 300Kbps, priced at £17.99, with the top end at 1.5Mbps costing £37.99.
"Our customers want more speed, better e-mail access and more newsgroups to enjoy, and that's what we're delivering," said NTL chief executive officer, Simon Duffy.
NTL has some one million residential customers and accounts for a third of the UK's broadband market.
