First, the cap isnt enforced that strictly (Or at all) and most ISPS will be capped by next year, count on it.

Secondly NTL cant afford to cut prices, in reality they are only just making an operating profit, and they have to keep the networks up, unlike ADSL providers (Bar BT) who get the network maintained for them basically.

Most peoples E-Mail works fine, the ones on here mostly come after having issues, so theres a strongly disproportiante amount of people with problems. Also with the upgrades I bet most peoples are fine, you cant expect a major operation to have no problems though, and im sure they will be sorted.

Maybe true, but whoever comes in (Telewest maybe) need to steady a very dodgy ship, and stop the leaks before they go down, then they can concentrate on customer service improvement

Google it? use adslguide? its not that hard, Im personally On NTL or 56k here, but its easy to find ADSL providers, Just dont expetc the grass to be much greener on the other side, a lot expect too much, and get little.
