I think it's just a question of when rather than if.

they may upgrade the 1mb users to 3mb but there's no guarantee the upload will increase to 300. they'll probably only increase it if it needs to be for technical reasons.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 
When we had the recent increases in speed I chose to go to 1mb as my box could not handle the 2 and I didn't want to change my box, so when all this comes in to effect does that mean all the boxes the same as mine will be no use?

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 
Hey guys.. (first post - what better topic to start on! w00t!!)


Does anyone have any stats/ideas on how much online "gaming" contributes to one's max download limit per month?

On a side note...
I'm welcoming the 10mps with open arms as it's significantly faster than my current ntl 3mbs. But am *really* looking forward to some nice upload increase as well. Mainly cos I play online games, at the moment it's BF2. And I usually host a Skype session between mates to chat during the game (we dont like the ingame voip and prefer the easy of skype).

However, hosting a 4+ conference on Skype simply kills the current upload bandwidth while playing BF2. So, according to the BBc link, if NTL is doing this in response to the increased demand for high capacity online multimedia usage, (listed was voip) I assume they have taken into account the need for higher upload speed and not just killer downloads...
