IIRC, the prices rose shortly before the announcement (a month or so), so whether the bandwidth increase is actually free is debatable, although it's not being directly charged for.

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..
I know a few people over in America, and they all say that depending on who you go with, the cable networks over there are either better or worse than here.

And you think nayone with an ounce of business acumen would want to buy out a company with over $6bn of debt? OK then...
They might. Depends if they think that purchasing NTL and either keeping it trading, or moving customers to their own service and shutting NTL will generate more than $6 billion.
