To be fair ntl are doing it the best way.
People who pay more should get it first since well they pay for that right.
Would you yourself be annoyed if you was paying £37.99 for 3mbit and some guy in another city paying £17.99 for 10mbit?
The area by area thing also promotes postcode lottery service which I dont like. |
I see your point but at the end of the day as it stands now I am paying customer who is being treat downwards to someone else.
Not good public relations. |
It could be argued that if NTL went Area by area (as you suggested) that they would be treating people "downwards to someone else". After all, if, say, Manchester gets upgraded first, then people in other areas in and around Manchester would feel that NTL could do them as well.
Also, I would ask. As a 3 Meg customer, what would be my incentive to pay £20 a month more than a 1 meg customer if I am going to be treated exactly the same (leaving aside the cap)?
If NTL did as you suggest, it would lose them an awful lot of money. Money that could be possibly better spent on upgrades for the network.
