To be honest I wish NTL would put some cable down manchester road.. eventualy they'll have to make their caps bigger to compete with the likes of Bulldog which offer unlimited bandwidth for pretty much the same price.
Good thing about NTL is the pings (time it takes to communicate with the other computer(s) on the internet) are generaly better than adsl.
And... they plan to upgrade everyone to 10Mb speeds sometim and downe this year!
Best bit is they can in theory give you 100Mb connection, although when (if) they will ever roll that out is a different matter
