The tone of this thread is really beginning to bug me. If we are looking for supermarket checkout analogies, then how about:

150K box = Buy one, get one free, 100% larger box for the old price.
600K box = 25% extra free for the old price.
1024K box = 50% extra free for an 8% price increase.

Someone else has already worked out the price per speed/Kb and it DOES still favour the bigger band consumer pro rata - thus the cost 'per cornflake' remains cheapest in the biggest box. So it IS the same with ntl in this comparison.
