That's the issue though. It's not free on all 3. It's free for 150kbps and 600kbps, but it's £3 more for 1Mbps.
Okay, I know they're making the price rise before the "upgrade" so they can get round that little legal point, but we all know really that the plain fact is...
to get 1.5Mbps it will cost £3 more than it does currently for 1Mbps
There's no way they'd be able to justify the price increase if it was just left at 1Mbps, so the price increase and speed increase are definitely linked.
Therefore,
not free
Small though it may seem, it's still £3 I'd rather not be paying, especially as I don't need the extra 500kbps. Thus I'll downgrade.
I would like NTL to clear up their claims though by being accurate about the percentage increases for each tier and amending the "free" claim.
