Broadband users and potential users within NTL cabled areas will be attracted to a service which has an higher cap, albeit only 3 Gb per month, and a higher download speed for the same £17.99. The new 2 Mb and 3 Mb services from NTL will win a lot of customers from ADSL that cannot get more than 512k from ADSL. |
I would have thought it more the price that attracted the users to the introductory levels, I would assume that most new users haven't a clue what 1 or 2 Gb allowance actually means in real terms, in fact I would think that all most people see in the adverts is the price, I mean it's not as if ISP's go out of their way to draw attention to the usage allowances.
If interest rates start to rise after the election it will be the users on the lower levels who cancel their connection simply because they will not be able to justify the expenditure for a service they do not make full use of.
Both my neighbours are on the lowest tier with NTL and after playing around with the Internet initially neither of them hardly ever use it anymore, these are the types of user who will cancel when the mortgage rate rise further.

I think it is really wonderful that there are so many honest, god fearing people on this forum, they are a credit to their parents.
