Well, yes, I know it's not the greatest amount, but am reluctant to give NTL, whom I have given large sums of money to over the past four years and in return I have had OK but hardly great service, an extra 100+ pounds for, effectively, nothing. Bearing in mind that selling up and moving abroad for a year or two is going to cost me a shedload of money it makes sense to try and avoid splurging it out unneccesarily.

It looks like it might be better me going with zen.co.uk, whom you can leave with one month's notice, paying 24.99 a month and getting 8MB speed than going with NTL and paying more for a 1 or 2 MB service.

If I do this, however, will probably fire off my cable package with NTL and just go to Freeview to save the money I am paying for broadband, so may phone up NTL and see if I can negotiate with them to allow me a 6 month Broadband contract instead of me dropping my cable.
