Yeah, but when you're on 1Mbps, an extra 500kbps doesn't seem like much. In fact the way the net works generally, over 1Mbps that 500kbps isn't much of a difference anyway. At these speeds you're likely going to be using broadband to an extent where the next step that's worthwhile will be an extra 1Mbps or much more. If you're not using it to that extent you probably don't need 1Mbps (as I've found).

Perhaps but they're blind to the fact that ADSL has the huge benefit of a 256kbps upstream on 512kbps downstream. I'd much rather have 512/256 than 750/128. Then there's NTL's customer service...
