True or not, I can't see a reason to close this. People are free to speculate. :)

Tell the authorities that, they are quite happy to bust file sharers.

Anyway this is about the non-existent 6Mbit Blueyonder product, which was supposed to have come out a couple of months ago, not the legalities or otherwise of P2P abusage.

Actually mods any chance of this thread dying, the rumour has been proven to be highly untrue, TW have no speed upgrades on the horizon until probably November (to coincide with BT's launch of MaxDSL) or the 10mbit trial leading to release of the commercial product in 2006.
Erm... well I called them last week and the guy I spoke to seemed quite hopeful.. unless he's trained in bluffing - so I was kinda waiting on the offchance someone would actually have more info than I do.

I'll just keep calling them til they have concrete information I guess :rolleyes:

Hrm interestingly on Digital Spy forums people have been phoning them and getting the same sorta thing for, erm, months.

Minor issue also that they would have to tell the Nasdaq exchange before they do anything majorly expensive, and they need to get their core network sorted before they do big speed increases.

6Mbit is a bit pointless IMO anyway when the only reason to do it is to compete against UKOnline and Bulldog, both of whom offer 8Mbit at substantially less than the £50 they charge for 4Mbit currently anyway.

There is no 6mb planned, but there should be a price reduction soon ( around the end of July - but dont quote me on this) and the trials of the 10mb service should also start soon

Yup makes sense, thanks for that. Find it a lot more believable than any of the other stuff I've heard.

Is this all remaining uncapped, etc, or will it be uncapped with traffic shaping applied, or possibly those who really hammer the service being told to go elsewhere or calm down?

What upload speed should I hope for to go with the 10mb service?

Is there any speculation on pricing for the 10mb yet?

Re: 6mb Blueyonder Rumour
 
Just as a guide the upload speed for 10mbit services varies between 800k and 1Mbit in North America so I'd probably hope to see it somewhere in that range. Course I could be wrong and it could be 768k or even 512k.

Re: 6mb Blueyonder Rumour
 
10mb will be very expensive- i am on the 1mb now and my budget is £27.00 PM, do you reckon that soon i will be able to have a faster speed, with the price reductions?

Re: 6mb Blueyonder Rumour
 
with LLU unbundling and ADSL2+, NTL and TW's prices will almost certainly have to come down.

When you consider that there are ISPs coming soon with 1mbit+ upstream speeds, then fingers crossed they'll all increase uploads too.

Re: 6mb Blueyonder Rumour
 
i really do wanna have 4meg, but i have a budget of £30 do u think this will be possible?

or maybe just 2meg? i really cant afford the £35 that it is now.
apparently with the price drops coming, i might be able fo afford 2meg

Re: 6mb Blueyonder Rumour
 
when the speed tiers change, i'd imagine it'd be within your budget.
