Good point, but I've got two services with NTL but get no discount, so on comparison, Telewest is cheaper for the same packages.

I'm only on 1Mbps because of the 256kbps upstream (makes my web server and remote VPN/ssh connections run faster). I'd much rather 256kbps upstream was offered on lower tier services though as I don't use even a fraction of the 1mbps download capacity.

Or the years we had 'coming soon' for digital TV (so many that I gave up and went with Sky Digital instead).

And I'm still waiting for Caller Display
