Most interesting. No doubt speculation at this stage but.

One wonders in practice whether there is a much lower price that is chargeable id a 150 kpbs tier is reintroduced. The fixed costs of line provision, modem supply etc, compared to the day to day running costs and limited bandwidth needs may not actually create much margin.

As for the top end upgrades, no doubt any increase in upload speed may be desirable by some users. One does though really have to wonder at whether this will be the time that ntl revise their download guidance, now 18 months out of date, to reflect current internet volumes in terms of sizes of files, and thus adjust the overall levels to reflect increased bandwidth. At this higher level no doubt there will also be a premium fee for the service, as only the heavy data shifters would be the first subscribers.
