Worth going for eh?
In my case, no I'll show you why:

Total for 12 months: £456

Plusnet 1MB
USB modem @ £44.99
Activation @ £58.75
1 or 12 month contracts (if 1 month activation = £70.90)
Regrade costs: £11.75 per tier change
Cost per month: £30

Total for 12 months: £475.49

NTL 1mbps (soon to be free regrade to 1.5mbps)
Free installation
Free Modem
12 month min contract
Free regrades (Through 150kbps, 600kbps and 1mbps)
Cost per Month: £38 by DD

Total for 12 months: £456
(NB: 1.5mbps soon.)

I have already looked at this, and although I'm basing it on 1mbps speeds, I would guess the 2mbps to be very similar. I dont really need 2mbps, but would gladly have it if it was reasonably priced.
