Agreed, and as i said the price increase was in response to the "competition" - nothing to do with the speed increase. After all, Telewest didnt increase their prices in response to the speed increase, so why should NTL.

Incidently, with cable based 1.5mb being offered for £35 by telewest and with aol offering 1mb adsl some £8-11 cheaper than BT's broadband and BTyahoo, im pretty sure other adsl companies will be forced into reducing their prices, which will leave NTL HIGH and dry

Still way off the mark for the rest of europe and probably the world. I have a friend in Canada who pays the equivalent of £50 for a 5mbit service... makes me sick
