Re: 1Mbit price reduction

I really wouldn't move to ADSL, this is due mainly due to NTL being quite easy to come in to contact with and alot of people use them. I think that NTL are not stupid and will realise as they have done that recently speeds have gone up and some prices have dropped. Once the speed increases are done I think they won't have to really change any prices further. 1.5mb for £38 a month really isn't that bad, remember £50 for 1mb? That's what I call overpriced. Not many people use the 1mb service, the increase in speed and cost then backs up NTL's point of the 1mb service, to be used by people who love their net connection, otherwise what's wrong with 600k/750k for £24.99? That i think is the best value on the net along with 150k when it is 300k for 17.99. Just think of all those sad people on tiscali etc who haven't heard anything of changes of service. They offer a 256k service for £17.99 but is it really reliable? I don't think so, exchanges seem very overloaded and you just never get true 256k.

I just wish people would leave NTL alone sometimes, they know they are overpriced, and they will do what they think is right to compete with ADSL, note it is ADSL they are competing with! Not telewest! So stop saying that telewest have completed the speed increases etc... there are still people on telewest using 1mb when others have been upgraded due to telewest not changing the STBs! NTL is making sure EVERYONE gets the benefit of the changes and is trying it's best.
