I bet they took a bit longer han a few minutes to get all the bean counters to decide on a price to market this at

The connection caners will be the problem and a lot depends on the distribution of those within the network. They may experience problems which other users don't.
True, and in a way, it's good for me (and other NTL users) that TW are piloting this, as it should mean that NTL can learn from TW's mistakes, and that us NTL users benefit from any problems they may or may not encounter.

As for the connection caners, I hope that none of my neighbours fall into this category, or else I'll be paying them a visit
