Rival cable net provider NTL is also doubling the speed of its broadband
services at no extra cost.
It is part of a fierce ongoing battle between internet service providers to
win customers to their high-speed net connections.

i only have the basic 150k service, so a "free" upgrade to 300k is quite
nice!

Only doubling the 150k service. 600k becomes 750k. 1M goes to 1.5M:

When do the increased speeds take affect on NTL?

Crummy luck for the 600k users!

Now when do BT start getting competitive?

Also, I noticed how NTL increased the monthly charge then upped the speeds?
Sneaky??? I think the reason why the 600k service was only increased
marginally is due to that being the most popular tier and therefore
bandwidth would be needed most.
