It'll only be the same price as the old 3(and later 4)mb, and quite a few people paid for that

Before joining ntl I was with BT paying £29.99 pm for 512Kb. Before I left BT I got a call from them offering me BB for £26.99 pm (for being a loyal customer), I thought it was strange, beware of Greeks bearing gifts and all that. A few weeks later they upgraded the service to 1Mb and it was then that I discovered that my line was limited to 512Kb.

Soooooo, even though this weekend I am struggling to download at 1Mb with VM it is still better value than my old service especially as I now get Phone XL for £9.45 pm.

Hopefully one day VM will be bought out by Delboy Trotter and things will improve.

It is not going to be a free upgrade. You might get it because you were "promised" it, but I have my doubts.

I don't see it being £50, thats ridiculous. Probably all 20 meg customers will get offered it at a £10 premium over their current pricing.

That would be £37+£10=£47 then. Near as damn-it to 50 quid in my book.
