Why? NTL can advertise this:

Broadband from ntl, from £17.99 / month with speeds up to 10Mbit.

That's a little misleading but every bit as accurate as the advertising that ADSL suppliers will be doing. If they only offer an 8Mbit tier they're insane, they'll need cheaper lower cap tiers at the very least.

People complain about what the point is in 10Mbit tiers without high caps, people complain about pricing, people complain about speeds.

Can't please them all, however if it's down to advertising there are several ways to shaft the consumer

Also can I point out that Plusnet haven't actually revealed WHAT they are doing for the 8Mbit deals yet, and are confirming this next week.
