Price went up a few months back. It's £37.99 for 1Mbps. My bill went up straight away
. If yours hasn't maybe you've got away with a billing screw-up (nothing unusual for NTL).
It'll be 1.5Mbps eventually when the upgrade occurs.
Whether you think that's justifiable on the basis of the speed increase or not, NTL's 1Gb per day capped 1.5Mbps at £38 a month is still WAY overpriced. AOL offer
unlimited 1Mbps for
£29.99, and that's AOL!! Telewest didn't see fit to put the price up even with their speed increase (still £35 a month for 1.5Mbps).
The price decrease was never promised. NTL just said they might review it. It would be a big U-Turn if they do, but it's unlikely when one of the NTL bosses goes around branding 1Mbps users as "bandwidth hoggers"
.
If NTL decide to drop it to £35 I'd still be annoyed as I never asked for an increase to 1.5Mbps, and I'd rather pay less for 1Mbps (i.e. £30) than pay £5 more for 1.5Mbps. If they don't change it at all, I'll probably switch to ADSL or failing that (if I can't get it), drop to what will be the 750kbps service. NTL's loss, but if they can't price their products competitively, what do they expect.
