Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I found it staggering that it could take 6 months to sort it out its either :-

1 - took them a aweful long time to do the upgrade.
or
2 - the upgrades are been done but it is so bad before hand that the amount of work needing doing takes half a year or so to complete.

Just seems ntl put more attention into certian area's I always hear about trials and so forth and the same area's always get the trial's so those area's probably get constant upgrade's as well to enable the trials to work out right and Leics just seems forgotten, I dont know if its the only area thats this bad but Leics is not a good area for ntl.

What do I suggest ntl do?

They can at least send a letter of apology out to customer's saying sorry for the delay and providing a proper reason why it has yet to happen, a compensation wouldnt go amiss either.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I kinda feel for those not updated I was done early August and moved to 1.5mb Broadband and am very happy with my Sacm service.

I am moving house soon to a location near to where I am now and plan on staying with NTL who have been happy to help whenever I have had issues with anything.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Does anyone know if the monthly bandwith allowances (1Mb/5GB a month, etc...) are official yet for the speed increases in the new year? I've found nothing at all about the increase on the ntl site.

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/article/...-speed-changes
That page says the monthly usage is yet to be confirmed, whereas a page on another forum seems to suggest it has been confirmed, and also has a quote from Aizad Hussain, MD of ntl, and includes the comment "If you already have ntl Broadband your service will remain unchanged", so I assume if you remain unchanged you still have the (unenforced) 1GB a day limit as opposed to getting an increase in speed but a drastic reduction in bandwidth.

5GB a month does seem a little on the small side. I'm sure with 1Mb you could do more than 5GB in a day.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I think but not sure that the limits are confirmed but the upload speed's are not confirmed, however because the rollout hasn't started yet ntl are still free to change it should they wish to do so with small hassle.

Personally I think ntl have got the limit's right on the bottom 2 tier's you shouldnt expect too much for 17.99 a month and 2mbit for 24.99 is outstanding value.

Not another cap thread - pleeze!!!!

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

If it's confirmed then thats really poor. 5GB a MONTH is PATHETIC. That's 170MB a DAY. On 56k dialup I'm sure I managed more than that some days and it'd fly by on 1 Mbit.

I'm gonna either not pay for the upgrade and stick with what I've got at present (1gig a day cap), assuming I'm able to do that, or pay the extra for 2mbit and then be very careful I don't blow the lot in a week.

OH YES, I forsee many many more cap threads if they go through with this 5GIG a month cap.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Anyone complaining about the new caps:

1) NTL have not actually announced any new caps. All we have at the moment is rumours.

2) At the moment, if the cap does cause you problems, you have the option of moving to an uncapped ISP.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I have a maximum running speed of probably around 25mph .. do i do it all day long ? No.

Why can't people just be happy that the running they do will be faster...

Jeez.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

oh my god it's turning into a cap thread/one that goes round in circles.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

No it's not-it's turning into a thread that I'm going to close very shortly.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

will all cap discussions just get closed?

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

What's the point in discussing it any further? I'm sure that every single aspect of the 'cap' debate has been done to death 100 times over on this forum in one thread or another. The cap is there. That's that really. No petition, or website, or protest, or any amount of objection has changed the situation so far so whats the point in going over it again and again? :shrug:

Yes-until there is something new to discuss.
