So, reading this, I take it that before the end of this year, I will be upgraded from 3 Mb to 10 Mb, and that my download limit will increase from 30Gb to 75 Gb, but my monthly tariff will still be £37.99 p/month.

Am I reading more into this than I should be? :shrug:

you can fill the 75 gig on 10 meg in about 22.5 hours what I have now can fill it in 2 days flat

So will we have to pay a flat rate of £38 a month, plus whatever we download. :confused:

heck, this could even get me back on.... err... no I didn't say that - never... not worth it. lol

I thought that the modems were only capable of 8mb tops?

will that mean new modems for all if its so?

Yeah, I know that... me too. Although I do download Linux distros... honest! ...I also download a helluva lot more 'evaluation' software too.

What I've been trying to get my head round is whether the 10 Mb / 75 Gb package is going to be priced at £37.99. Dunno why I'm bothered though... might as well just wait and see what happens.

Well if this roll out isn't going to be finished by the end of 2006 there isn't too much to get excited about just yet. By then we'll all be wearing silver suits and communicating telepathically.

according to Ntl unlimited tier users does not include 10meg line

Quote:
ntl also announced today that it plans to launch a range of unlimited usage services, at speeds below 10Mb. These will also launch in 2006.
so looks like if you want unlimted you gotta pay more (possibly) and a slower speed than if you go with a capped 10meg service

Strange - I knew you were going to type that even before it appeared on the forum .... maybe it's that old Spandau Ballet outfit I'm wearing .... ;)

well thats certainly disappointing, unlimited services will be below 10mbit :(

so i guess it means the caps will be hard ones instead of the current soft ones.

I wonder what telewest will do to compete with this? Considering they always beat ntl lol! Prob like 14mbit Uncapped for 50 quid.

The thing is though, ntl and Telewest are not in direct competition with each other, since you cannot get Telewest services in an ntl area and vice versa - Please also don't forget that there is an expected merger of the two cable giants, just around the corner. :)

They have been expected to merge for years and nothing has happened....this is nothin different now and telewest and ntl always offer nearly the same services so they WILL upgrade and WILL beat what ntl offer......;)
