NTL are not forcing you, or me, to do anything - when the price of something rises we have the choice of buying it or not. I choose to continue buying it.

If you don't want 1.5mb then you simply have to drop a level, or move - but remember - some of us are quite happy with the speed increase (which is in the next three months, not next year).

Please tell me where [or how] exactly am I being "fleeced".
It is sadly a fact of life that some people do have the attitude that because they are not being asked for an increase it does not bother them.
If you feel insulted, I apologise.
When I was notified of the new price levels in my last NTL bill, I thought, "Why am I being asked for £3 per month more? when the other two tiers are not ".
There are many who feel the same way.
In fact, when I contacted NTL all their response was " Well it was all done by the marketing dept, I too think they made an error, but the new prices come into effect in june "
No mention of the speed increases by the way, which imo happen when they happen, what NTL tell you in publications etc do not believe.
If people are quite happy to pay the increase for something in the future then good luck to them.
Me? I prefer things up front.
A little like paying £1.20 for a four pint carton of milk in your supermarket.
You go in the following day and it is £4.20, when you question the price they tell you " well in three months time it will be a six pint carton."
Taking the above scenario, would I be justified in thinking I am being fleeced?

All imo ofcourse.
