NTL is to revamp its cable broadband packages at the start of next year, including the launch of a 3Mbps service.
It will replace its existing 300Kbps, 700Kbps and 1.5Mbps packages with services offering speeds of 1Mbps, 2Mbps and 3Mbps.
The 1Mbps package will cost £17.99 a month with a download limit of 5GB, the 2Mbps service will be priced £24.99 per month with a usage allowance of 30GB and the 3Mbps connection will cost £37.99 per month with a 40GB download limit. All include free activation and a free cable modem.
Existing NTL broadband customers will stay on their current service until they pay a one-off £25 charge to upgrade. Currently, members pay £17.99 a month for the 300Kbps package, £24.99 a month for speeds of 750Kbps and £37.99 a month for a 1.5Mbps connection. NTL said a dedicated online registration system for upgrades will be available from next year.
Aizad Hussain, managing director of NTL, said: †œOur new services are highly competitive and leave rivals stuck in the slow lane. Having led the way towards choice and value propositions I'm delighted that we're now leading the pack once again by launching these new super-speed services at affordable prices.
NTL said plans to launch bundled offers with the new broadband packages and its TV and telephone services are "in the pipeline".
Earlier this week, NTL launched a range of internet and telephone services for customers outside its cable network. A 512Kbps broadband service costs £17.99 per month.
