NTL Launches Low-Price Broadband Content Package

UK broadband ISP NTL has launched its “Broadband Plus” package – which it describes as a “premium broadband content bundle”- is designed just for NTL subscribers. Costing £3.99 a month, the package includes material from the BBC, MTV as well as games. NTL reckons that if users had to buy this stuff separately it would set them back around £30 a month.

Of course all of these broadband ISPs are making the classic walled-garden assumptions again: I for sure do not care what NTL’s packages are (which is my ISP in London, btw), as long as I get good high-speed, and then I’ll access what I want, not what they want me to…
