Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Any idea what these slower speeds will be? Not that I have any faith that NTL can stick to a single definition of unlimited for a significant length of time.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I wonder what these speeds will be?? This looks to be the service for me as I do a Huge amount of downloading. Nice to see them "Trying" to cater for "All" people.

Just hope the speeds on it are not to far off the 10Mbps and it has a decent upload on it......

Just have to wait and see I guess.......

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Yep....I hope ntl increase the upload to a decent level. Then i would be a REALLY happy customer :)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I'd be happy to continue with 2mbit uncapped for £25. Although, obviously, a speed increase would be nice :)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

frist time poster :dunce:

if you upgrade your speeds you WILL be capped, if you keep going over the capping you will bw asked to pay more, (nice of them to tell you you've gone over till the bill comes) this is the main reason that i'm still only 300kbs :Yikes:

i'm downloading most of the time (like my tunes) and dont agree with capping witch is why i havent, everyone thats upgraded to the 1 meg will get a 3gb cap!!!!!!, and theres no goingway back to 300kbs

Fluff capping :td: :td: :td: :td:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Hi wishy0,

:welcome:

The caps aren't being enforced (yet!), of course if you've got specific evidence to the contrary I'd be interested to hear it.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

5Mbps with unlimited download wouldn`t be too bad, a bit of a speed increase and no caps to worry about, although hat would still have my friends on 8Mbps ADSL gloating.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Now 3mbit uncapped at the same or lower price than now and i will be doing cartwheels up the street :LOL:. You see 3mbit is fast enough for me

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

My 2MB is fast enough for me. What I want the most from NTL is a faster upload, not a faster download :(

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

hi raistlin


i was on the blower to them for about an hour today, had him running to ask questions to someone that know what i was on about (evil grin)

its going to be in oct/nov that capping is going to be inforced, so get in what you can NOW before its to late!

i'm thinking about changing to UKOnline as thay have a cap of 500gb's a day for about the same price!

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Yeah, I'm expecting around the 5Mbit mark but am Hoping! for a bit more. I would like to get something like 8Mbit with a 1Mbit upload on it so I can at least get the same sort of connection most of europe had last year :( Most of my Euro friends have recently moved to 20Mbit but still keeping the 1Mbit upload.


Just wondering though if the quote from NTL about only 2% of it's customers going over the cap is to be beleived??

If in fact only 2% DO go over the cap then what harm could their be in offering 10Mbit without a cap? As hardly anyone would go over it.....AND if they are upping it to 75GB then that must surely reduce that 2% further still? :D

I think they are not giving the right figures there....... :erm:

Anyway, I will not put any pen to paper until the end of the year that way I can see what ADSL has to offer in my area in the coming months. I am apparently only 1.93KM from my exchange so I am hoping to get something half decent from that. Then I can way up NTL against ADSL for the first time properly.

Hopefully NTL will come up trumps though as 4 Good years service (With the odd Hicup) would be a shame to jump ship......Would feel Kinda guilty doing it to!! lol :dunce:


Fingers are crossed NTL, don't let me down. ;)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Why are ntl bothinging doing this? some services capped and some not? surely they would make more money if they were all uncapped and people who dont use alot of bandwidth but just want a fast connection would pay for the highest speed? So why are they doing this when sombody like that could pay 17.99 a month instead of 37.99 and still get 10mbit? Sees a bit pointless to me and they will lose quite a bit of money from people downgrading.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Think you have that wrong my friend. :) would be nice if it was but change day to month :LOL:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

This latest news is in line with something i'd heard rumoured on here a week or so ago, 5mb unlimited for the same price as 10mb with 75GB cap.

That sounds great, and i'm sure it would please most of the heavy users. I'd certainly be happy with it,
A little more upstream would be nice, but not really essential, i'm sure we could soldier on without it. :D

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Because reading between the lines. There is going to be some form of hard cap on the limited services. "dont take that as me confirming this. I am making an assumption from what they have posted in the news section".
