my 20Mbit connection drops to about 5Mbit at peak hours, so by that reckoning 50Mbit would may go to 12 - 13Mbit.

Not really the 50m will be running on DOCSIS 3 system compared to the old DOCSIS1/2 so if anything it should be good and if loads jump over to it(heavy downloaders) it should make the 20/10/2 much better.

I have to say that when my cable connection went down NTL were out the next day and replaced my Ambit modem with the new NTL250.
I downgraded from 10 meg to 2 meg and it's been rock solid ever since. Works very nicely thanks.

Hope they keep that option when they do all these changes later on this year.

hmmm ye u keep believing that lol :erm:

I am on 20mb with vip package and very happy with vm. I get 19mb most of the time but at peak can drop down to 8mb. Not a problem at all. Much better than what ADSL can offer in my area less than 2mb! I use usenext and get the download speed i pay for on there so very happy. Will not hesitate to go onto the 50mb when comes out as i realy could do with the extra upload even tho it aint that much of an increase. As i do alot of online gaming and find that the 20mb is not good for hosting games as it is only around 786kbs. 1.5mb is what is first coming out i believe. But i hope they can increase this maybe just a little bit more. My ping is great around the world also :D

I been on 20 meg since november when we moved into a VM area and its been faultless, never been down, speeds always 2.3mbs on usenet and in peak times drops to around 1.6 which as antmn2209 said with his adsl i could only manage 5 meg on adsl so i got no complaints, best part in the package deal it works out at £22 a month which is even better.
