"NTL is to boost the speed of its broadband service at no extra cost - 150K service is upgrading to 300k although the price will remain £17.99 a month. The 600K service is to increase to 750K (£24.99) while its 1MB service ramps up to 1.5MB (£37.99). NTL's gear-shift will take place in the summer, a little later than Telewest, which upgrades in May."

When I first read the headline, I thought maybe this was more on the dreaded "make heavy download users pay more" saga, but instead this little gem was waiting for me like a hidden present under the Xmas Tree! Yeah! I am one happy NTL customer today.
