NTL have just changed their business broadband products speeds to match the residential versions.

750k for £25 a month or 1.5m for £35

This would suggest that the residential product could be in line for a price revision followed by a 2m product for £40 and a 3m product for £50 perhaps.
If I remember right the 1.5mg is £37.99 not £35?

correct the residential price is £38 which is why I said "This would suggest that the residential product could be in line for a price revision"

Though that's another thread entirely.....
Nah thanks I retired several years ago feel for the many who are in the shaft position though

Ok sorry bout that back to topic

I will not even bother replying to that thread on ADSL guide that is one reason I feel people should wait for the official release of the news.

Re: More ntl speed changes

It's Official

NTL have confirmed that they WILL be changing speeds - a 2MB and 3MB speed will be launching in the first quarter of 2005.

Simon Duffy, chief executive of ntl says:-

To retain our leadership position in broadband, we will be increasing our ntl:home products in Q1 2005 to 1MB, 2MB & 3MB at existing prices this decision reflects our determination to ensure that we will always have the most competitive range of broadband products in the market place.

Re: More ntl speed changes

certainly looks that way from a 'standard english' reading (i.e not using an NTL dictionary).

Just had a quick google and the only words that are very similar came from Telewest in 2002 Q4
