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.

Sorry Nikko, but ntl are the ones who have, unfairly, in my opinion increased the price of one level of their broadband, but to try and pacify people, they say "We will increase the speed"
Instead, why didnt they, turn to the customers and give them the choice?
Or just levy a £1 increase across the board.
If I had been a customer not taking 1mb I don't think I would be too upset over the price increase on 1mb, especially as I'd be getting more speed for the same money.
I think the supermarket analogy is a good one.
NTL are not giving you what you want, they are enforcing it, then wondering why people are turning their backs on them in droves, or cutting back on the products.
