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. |
If you take into account the 1GB cap layed down by NTL then you need to make the same comparison with PLUSNET. Unfortunately their lowest cap is 2GB (DOUBLE NTL'S!!!!) This makes the direct comparison between NTL and PLUSNET (Both on their 1MB line) A little closer as the price for plusnet per month is just £23.99. Seem a little better??
If you decided on their 2MB line the LOWEST cap here is 4GB which is 4 times that of NTL and 500K quicker than the proposed 1.5MB of NTL.
The price for this is only £31.99 which kinda balances out the cost of modem/activation. Oh and you can buy your own modem anyway and save even more!!
