Speed and price have been the biggest issues as service providers offer paired down services, discounts and set caps on bandwidth.
Not wishing to be left behind, Telewest rival NTL is also upping the speed of its net connections for free.
Its services will start at 300Kbps, priced at £17.99, with the top end at 1.5Mbps costing £37.99.
"Our customers want more speed, better e-mail access and more newsgroups to enjoy, and that's what we're delivering," said NTL chief executive officer, Simon Duffy.
NTL has some one million residential customers and accounts for a third of the UK's broadband market.

Whether the speed upgrade will go smoothly is another question but the last one did for me. Here's hoping that the competition continues to heat up
