2. 50% free speed increase (seems unfair that other people get this and pay the same price as me, yet I dont get it... its like I'm funding their downloads in a way)
The lack of speed increase for STB users is for Telewest, *not* NTL.

NTL STB BB customers will apparently get the speed increase - even those on the 1Mb service.

(that is not the only post from an NTL person to say this)
