Just because some of you are NTL fan-boys or just on a lower tariff and pleased with your "free" upgrade, doesn't mean you can just dismiss our complaints about the price increase (on what is already a too expensive price) as "stupid"
I know people are saying "it's just £3 a month", but despite the fact we've been paying £35 a month so far,
we're not made of money (and for many of us, £35 was the limit with hopes that it would drop over time!). We're well aware of what's good value for money, but just saying that by paying more we get better value is dumb when we can see that we can save a lot by paying less and getting a slightly lesser service (which in practice for many will probably not be much difference). It's like saying that buying a particular £50k car is good value for money... well that it might be, but it's far too much to pay for a car.
The reality though is the majority of the rest of the broadband world is not putting prices up but dropping prices, and the UK has some of the highest broadband prices and lowest speeds, particularly in Europe.
