BBC: Telewest is to offer the UK’s first 3Mbps broadband service, as rival NTL doubles the speed of its services.

Whoa! That’s the first I’ve heard… I don’t think I’ll be upgraded to 1200Kbps for the price I’m currently paying (£19.99/month) when ntl are charging £37.99 for 1.5Mbps!

I hope I’m proved wrong.

Update: Here’s the important bit from the official press release.

At entry level, the 150Kbps service increases to 300Kbps (£17.99), the mid tier service increases from 600Kbps to 750Kbps (£24.99), while at the high end the 1Mb service increases to 1.5Mb (£37.99).

It’s been a while since I took A-level maths, but IIRC an increase from 600Kbps to 750Kbps isn’t "double." Still, it’s better than a poke in the eye.
