From what I have heard, the speed increase was not a reaction to TW, but had been planned for a while.
This being the case it begs the question(s).
- Does this show a "close working relationship" between TW and NTL ?
- Whether (1) is true or not, was the announcement of the changes a reaction to the TW announcement ?
NTL's PR machine must be kicking themselves (again) as the way in which it has been handled will do nothing to convince the customer base.
