I don't like being told I'm getting extra for free when I'm not and being told I should be happy to pay that bit more for the extra 500kbps, which although that's all very nice, does not represent a huge difference on a 1Mbps connection given typical use and limits of the Internet (i.e. for downloads, you may get that big download half an hour earlier if you're lucky, but I'm not really that bothered about it). The only benefit beyond slightly quicker downloads I could see is if I had three people using three PCs on my network and I can effectively give each 500kbps.
At the end of the day though £38 is too much to pay (£35 was pushing it as it was). Telewest can do it for £35.

the 1mb service is going up to 37.99 anyway so you aren't paying for that extra 500k
