Cheap broadband providers come and go. Promises of revolutionary speed are repeatedly made.

Yet where I am I'd probably max out at about 6mb. Download caps are useless to me so that rules out most fast internet providers ADSL.

Blueyonder has consistently offered me fast, reliable, uncapped broadband with speed upgrades almost annual now.

I'm not going to move for a theoretical speed increase to an unproven service who have little/no potential to give me a speed boost in the near future.

Cable TV may be a "poor cousin" but I've it time and again said that Telewest TV outsells Sky where customers have a choice of both. I don't know if the same is true for NTL.

Remember Sky's "8 million" includes around 700 000 in the ROI and god knows how many on the Costa Del Sol.
