Because if ntl planned it like telewest did then we would all have had our speed upgrade's by now.
Pem I wish you was a bit more open, and not be afraid to criticise when due, I know there are good points about the service but I am not afraid to criticse when its due and I dont believe you really think the service and the way its provided is 100%.

NTL wanted to increase the prices, end of story.
Their MD is quoted basically as saying he wanted to punish top users of the 1mb service.
As they release their increase, telewest have upped their speeds, NTL backtracking have to pull something out the hat, hence speed increase.
Price increase and speed increase are not linked, one came before the other, fact.
