LOL scastle, sounds about right as email usually takes 2 days to arrive, they must use second class for sending tho as when I send it takes 5 days.

Ok this is what I think will happen if/when merger happens.

All packages will stay the same for at least 6 months but probably longer, the new company will make the excuse saying due to technical and administration reasons we cannot provide the old telewest packages into ex-ntl areas.
A usage cap will be phased into ex telewest customers, this will probably happen within 3-6 months.
Prices for the 1.5mbit product will be merged so they the same, probably meaning a price rise for ex telewest customers.
After 12-24 months ex ntl customers will start getting the 3mbit package, but to limit availability they will only make it available in digital areas.
