Basically in this field there's not that much that can't be done if enough money is thrown at it, however those with hands on the purse strings will expect a return on the cash, and in the case of throwing more bandwidth at a group for an unprofitable minority to benefit a line has to be drawn.

i can see your point my dear freind
but how can you expect a market to grow and be prosperous if your not 'pushing the envelope' interms of providing a faster service ? im sure demand for bandwidth will contine to surge ahead as more bandwidth intensive services come online day by day.....
this is how company's loose out in the future, there will always be a company out there willing to push a new product if the market is ready for it.
but sometimes you have to be the one to do it first, this is in NTL's case, im not talking about ridiculously high speeds, but maybe the next level 3mbit ?
the upgrades will be short term costs, am i right in assuming that NTL pay for the bandwidth they use ?

You rightly expect to achive the full speed of your service regularly, to never achieve it isn't good, especially considering the relatively low speeds we have here.

since 2001, when i joined the broadband service, i have had 100% speeds, i expect near to that with other isp's, not below half the rated speed, you should be getting 60% of the time
