Re: 1Mbit price reduction

Well, this would be great news and a positive step by NTL for once, if they actually drop the price (it's only "under review" after all).

I said the price rise was stupid at the time, when all other broadband providers are competing with each other to drop prices.

The problem lies with one certain boss at NTL who said something along the lines of "we should penalise 1Mbps customers as they're bandwidth hoggers" (not the exact words, but something to that effect)

Reminds me of IBM who said there'd only ever be a need for 4 computers in the world.

£38 was WAY too much for 1Mbps. It's too much for 1.5Mbps, especially when it's capped (yeah, we know it's theoretical, but it's still not strictly unlimited which is what broadband should be especially at these prices).

Personally I think there should be a 1Mbps service at £30, then 1.5Mbps at £35, 2Mbps at £40, and 3Mbps at £45. All 256kbps upstream minimum (512kbps upstream at 2 or 3Mbps would be nice though ).
