Re: NTL offering package to challenge talk talk
I think you can say that connection SPEED is "guaranteed" with NTL cable (as opposed to the "up to 8Mb" of ADSL (assuming perfect conditions) , but usable throughput is not guaranteed on either!

I guess it's worth having a pop at retentions (best offer for Family pack, phone not used much, as we kept the BT line and uses the NTL for dialup originally , broadband - currently 1Mb).

Note, there IS a BT line, and I've already checked that the special IS available (first one that has been!).

Just depends... TT seem to have no news server (compared to a restricted one with NTL) and to already throttle P2P (which NTL seem likely to do) - would mean biting the bullet on the £29.99 charge, and another £16 for an Ethernet modem, so maybe better to see if NTL have something approaching a price match.
