When there was 1mb, the price was £37.99. When the extra 500k was announced, it was for free. Is that not right?

We might not be America but considering their cable networks are older and crapper than ours, seems strange they can have triple our speeds and more.
I have no idea what the state of the american bb networks are like (and frankly nor do I care as I don't live there) so I cannot comment..

And what makes you think NTL will never be bought out? can happen quite easily if someone wishes to invest or take over.
And you think nayone with an ounce of business acumen would want to buy out a company with over $6bn of debt? OK then...

Also I am aware the date given is October,[ but thats not a date thats simply a month of the year (although given NTLs track record they wont specify what year). Someone more sensible can you actually give a date?
If ntl give a definite date in October, and then something goes wrong, they'll get a slating for it.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't

I'm sure there's plenty of people more sensible than me on here, but I'm damn sure they wouldn't be able to give you a date either.....
