So... NTL are planning yet another "free" upgrade with strings attached.Its just a shame that the new improved 10Mbps service will not be the fastest in the UK,BeUnlimited will be offering a 24Mbps service this autum NOT the end of year as NTL have planned.The new service offered by BeUnlimited is the first to use the trialed ADSL2+ and for under £30 for a unlimited service.this is not all they are going to offer to help you sign up.They are also offering a Thomson SpeedTouch 716g wireless router (which has two built in VoIP slots) free to customers. Normally RRP for the 716g is £116.99 including VAT.

So we valued consumers at NTL get a 10Mbps connection capped at 75gig for roughly £40 and a probability that we have to BUY our new modem to cope with the speed increase and the competators get a unlimited 24Mbps service and a modem worth £116(fr ee) for £30 a month.Guess NTL have missed the boat again on such a prized PR coup.
Now if NTL offered a unlimited service for £40 a month at the proposed 10Mbps speed then i for one wouldn't be looking into changing from NTL to another provider as NTL offer a more stable connection.
