You'd need to compare like with like, but I pay UKP17.99 for a 300Kb/s cable
connection with no formal bandwidth limit. NTL would up this to 1Mb/s for
the same money if I request it, but with a 3GB/month bandwidth limit, and to
me a slower speed seems less restricting than having to keep downloads to
10MB a day, hmm just Windows updates could use that up!
NTL are said to be planning to upgrade all users to 10Mb/s over the next
this year and 20Mb/s next year and just base the charges on a bandwdth
limit. After all it's the bandwidth that costs them money and not the
speed. Apparently they can get up to 50Mb/s out of the existing
infrastructure if there's a demand for it. So ADSL may have the edge at the
moment but cable could soon be a lot faster.

My ISP has come up with a very good price with a 2Mb adsl package (Mbps)
including 2Gb monthly download (plus free phone calls to other users of
the ISP). I know there has been discussion of various aspects of
different systems.
As the monthly cost will be the same as my dial-up I am very tempted. I
would be grateful for any pros and cons though.
