Mainly because of the 25% increase on dialup its not worth paying £12.50 when you can get broadband for £15 to £18 Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢ve wanted to get broadband for a while 512k not 150k but ntl are uncompetitive on price e.g.
150k 17.99 12moths contract
Plus net £15 512k
£17.99 UN capped
Bulldog 512k £15.99
Also there is more choice on dialup on BT
Wise surfer support ntl £7.50pm 80h
Naims £9.99 168hpm 3hour cutoff 5 moths for the price of 3 £29.97
Even with the higher speeds ntl 1 Mb £37.99
Bulldog 1 Mb £24.99
2 Mb £37.99

Couple of things you forgot by the way - those are all cheap and slightly dodgy products. ok....
Plusnet's £17.99 package comes with various blocked ports as it's a light user package.
Bulldog's 512k £15.99 and Plus's £15 pm are limited.
Any ISP offering 168 hours per month for £29.97 is going to be a tad short on ports I'd guess - would love to see what their connection rate is at peak times.
Bulldog have a pretty poor reputation - £24.99 is less than BT charge them for 1Mbit so its' probably using the much maligned Datastream system which has shown considerable congestion issues in the past. Ditto the 2Mbit which must be a special offer or offpeak only on both?
Anyway you picked a weird time to leave considering that speeds are going up for free pretty shortly, however all the best with it!
