I'm just being greedy but I would have thought I deserve upping to 900k at least !!!
I dont work for ntl but in my opnion its because before the upgrade the 600k package was easily the best value for money, after the price rise the 1mbit had to go up by a significant amount and the bottom package is probably going to have to compete with 256kbit adsl and low end 512kbit adsl packages so that also needed a fair upgrade but the 600kbit package is already competitive and at 900kbit a lot of 1mbit users would be too tempted to downgrade although I think ntl should have upped the upload on the 600kbit to 256kbit and on 1mbit to 384kbit.
