    As soon as NTL is out in my area I'm getting off Netsource.

    I'm not sure how IBB performs, I proberly wouldn't swap if I was you and if IBB was doing everything I needed in a month for a fair price...

    Given that IBB have no cap and don't have as many silly rules as NTL probably not. I got my 1meg installed today and unlike the other crowd in IBB that i've had to deal with, the installer guys came on time, did the job, tidied up and left.

    NTL don't really have any "silly rules", just the 1GB a day cap, which works out at 30GB a month... beats rival RADSL products.

    3 free months with NTL is also nice, and the free upgrade from 1meg to 1.5meg :)

    I have IBB's Breeze but I can't see myself keeping it beyond the 12 month contract as the performance isn't up to scratch. It depends on what's available then I suppose. I like the supposed 1Mbps out, not that I'm ever getting it from what I can tell, and the scalability. A non-enforced 30Gb cap wouldn't bother me in the slightest as I'm sure I don't even get up to half of that in a busy month.

    With the free trial I would definitely get NTL's service to see what it's like.

    I would jump at the chance to move from IBB to NTL! Even with the 1Gb (unenforced) limit on NTL. You would have to be going some to break it constantly and enough for NTL to send you a letter asking you not to.

    What package are you using on NTL?

    Thanks M8
