It's a forum - yes. I thought admins were supposed to carry an unbiased view... your views, to me are biased. 
I applaude both NTL and Telewest for what they are doing, whether merged or not. Who "got the info out first" or "who got it out better", isn't the subject here....
The fact that both companies are pushing the limits on broadband overwhelmingly (whatever their governing on limits in terms of caps or not), is nice to see don't you agree?

Bias has nothing to do with it-Telewest's press release
is superior to ntl's-fact. It is simply more informative, & more professional looking.
Here's a few 'facts' for you....
TW's press release is
far more informative than ntls.
ntl has somewhere in the region of 1,500,000 BB customers, & says it will complete the upgrade 'by the end of 2006'.
Telewest has approximately 1,000,000 BB customers, yet says it will complete the upgrades 'early next year'.
With the recent 3 meg upgrade (4 meg in Telewests case), ntl took far longer than Telewest to get this done. Despite ntl saying that it was their idea & that TW copied them, customers were kept waiting for an indefinate period of time. if it was ntl's idea 1st, what took them so long?
Telewest on the other hand finished their upgrades to 4 Mb
ahead of schedule.
There's no bias there as those are not opinions I've given you, they're facts.
It simply can;t be solely because ntl have more customers than TW that it will take so much longer-they were only a couple of months behind TW in finishing the 3 Mb upgrades, yet for this round of upgrades it appears there will be a much larger gap when the amount of customers that need upgrading is pretty much what it was last time round for both companies.
