That does not make sense, I *clearly* am prepared to pay for the service....or are you telling me the monthly charge for 50mb is the same as for 20mb? I EXPECT to pay higher monthly charges..no problem...but £80 just to get that privilege is OTT. Also I didnt need the advice about not signing up...as I said I am sticking to 20meg for now.

To be honest even if they had told me the £80 was for the modem itself I might have accepted that. I seem to remember when NTL first introduced cable to Middlesbrough you had the option of buying your own modem...I think I used that option (it was one of the old chunky US Robotics ones...some might remember!). My issue is that the £80 *seems* to be for... basically... nothing...
