They know enough to know that 3mbit is faster than 1mbit, and at the same price there is no decision here. On your logic, NTL are cashing in on there customours lack of knowledge, they personally know themselfs that there are better deals and better services to be had with other ISPs, but are still charging us! Its a outrage, Should they be expected to give there service away for free because of that? or becuase some people are pensioners? - I think not.

That isnt true at all, it dosent matter if they are pensioners or not, by me buying them a wireless>ethernet bridge I expect them to pay 10pounds a month for use of my connection.

Should I buy every person in my street wireless cards (pensioners or not) and let them use my broadband connection? Dont be stupid, I carnt afford to pay 40pounds to every stranger in every house in my street for the equipment, so I wouldent even have a 3mbit ntl connection if that were the case.

I am not being "creul" or "mean" even unfair, If someone offerd me 3mb broadband for 10pounds a month I would jump at it and tell other people to get it aswell, but they dont, So i havent.
