Blueyonder speed increases (again)
Well, the last thread got closed, but shall we try again?

I write this from the unique position of using both NTL and Telewest for internet services (and TV and telephone, but that's not relevant here). My verdict is this: Telewest have disappointed me greatly by not matching NTL.

For £25 a month, NTL will soon give me a 2Mbit connection. For the same amount of money, TW will offer just half that speed. Even worse, for £18 a month, NTL are offering a connection *four times faster* than Telewest's equivalently-priced offering. And yet, incredibly, some people on here are defending Telewest!

Please can someone explain to me how something offering a fraction of the speed for the same price can be considered a superior product?

(N.B. Like the vast majority of users, I couldn't give a toss about "caps" -- I simply don't download enough. In fact, I welcome them: if it keeps the high up- and downloaders off the service, then it keeps it nice and brisk for me.)
