market leader? sounds like ntl's pr team.

If the market leader is 0.5mbit speeds in the evenings then the uk broadband market really is in a dire state.

it does cost money to provide broadband in the form of traffic and providing the modems as well as supporting the service, granted the modems are very cheap but if you are downloading anything above a few gig a month then ntl are probably not making anything worthwhile from you as a discounted customer.

what I dread is if ntl win premiership football rights in 2007 because right now I can get it via sky sports, if ntl get rights they will likely stick it on a channel that is only available on the digital platform and cutoff even more of their customers from a service.
