That's a bit steep!
I'm on 2Mbps uncapped with PlusNet for £40.
Have to admit that a 30GB capped 2Mbps product with NTL would be much cheaper, but then I refuse to put up with endless packet loss, modem reboots, slow pings and terminally slow browsing on a 2Mbps product, as I had been getting on 1.5Mbps with NTL. I'm happy to pay more money for better quality and especially a stunningly better level of customer service with PlusNet.
NTL should sort out the network and local problems, plus their customer service, rather than concentrate on increasing speeds at lower prices to attract new customers thus congesting the network further. Sort that lot out, and I'd consider coming back (though I'd be more interested in NTL via ADSL than Cable Modem, as I'm convinced now that ADSL is a better technology in the long run, unless NTL are prepared to re-lay the entire cable network).
Though a little thought I've just had... is this confirmed to be a speed increase on NTL's cable network or is this actually what's going to be offered on their LLU ADSL connections? (or will they offer it on both?).
