I have to say the timing is great on a personal level...
We are looking at cutting costs, as we are expecting our first child in May/June next year..
One contention was the £38 for BB - I felt I needed the higher B/W for when I work from home (although I could go BT and get it paid for, that would mean new phone lines etc

) so I can now save money
and get even more speed (2M for less than 1.5M

)

- cheers NTLb-
as to the £25 to get the new speeds,
if they do enforce it, I think it's a bit cheeky - making existing customers pay for something new customers get by default, but if they are going to start charging installation again to new customers, then its still cheaper...
