Re: join thoses pipes
That's creative advertising allright:

For instance, if you buy 4 of Nildram's dslPro2000 services you can bond them together to provide up to 8Mbps download and 1Mb/s upload for only £35 set-up and £10 per month thereafte

They forgot to mention one subscriprion to dslpro2000 is £67 a month. Looks like the £10 is for the bonding only, the package described above is £278.

Good point though, maybe NTL have the honest excuse of technical limitation, maybe the Cable Network doesnt allow for this type of bonding wheras nildram are an ADSL provider.

I think the fact that not many NTL customers would want to over £70 a month for an internet connection could have something to do with it  :pp

Sure, but my point was about the advertising being creative, as it could be read as stating that the whole package is £10 a month.
