all packages come with 30 gig traffic so it works like this
and what I work out will be after price changes, since you did the same.
300kbit users pay £170.99 per mbit traffic
750kbit users pay £249.99 per mbit traffic
1.5mbit users pay £379.99 per mbit traffic
the price rise and speed upgrades were NOT linked ntl original move was just to send a price rise to the top tieir only for their own reasons (I suspect they want people to downgrade), then the speed increases came after when blueyonder forced them into doing it. There is nothing stupid about expecting all customers to be treated the same, there is currently 2 major problems with the top tier package.
1 - users on the bottom tier can download the same amount
2 - the gap in price has increased by 30%

One point that you have failed to take account of:
All packages do not come with a 30 Gb allowance. You are allowed to break the 1 Gb on several days per month (forgot how many and I am tired) and on those days that you do, the faster your connection the more you can download. So, the faster your connection, the more you can download per month without breaching the AUP. Probably works out at nearer 90 Gb per month rather than 30 Gb.
I would love to know how you work out the cost per mbit traffic which arcamalpha2004 says you have done accurately. Please enlighten us.
