One thing is they are doing this, but the last time they eliminated 1MB BB, and auto-switched 1MB/3 for £30 customers to 2MB BB for no extra cost.

I wonder, when the 20MB is done, we will get 4MB...

Also, they are residentially trialing 50MB BB too!

Weyhey!

Re: 20 Meg From June
 

great! cant wait for this to kick in, looks like ntl/ telewest's (back then) promises are showing some fruition!

Re: 20 Meg From June
 

agreed, although I have been paying £15 per month since october last year for 10mb (but nowhere near those speeds - took a lot of grief, hassle and telephone calls to get it too). I hear people are getitng compensation now of free broadband until problem is fixed - anyone here this ?

If they do rollout 20mb, and plenty of us still in areas that can't recieve 10mb yet - maybe a class action law suit will make them listen??? ;)

Re: 20 Meg From June
 

I have been on blueyonder many years, 10meg which I get near enough at 05.00am but by 6.30am it drops to 100k or so and reamins there through till midnight. dunno if upgrade to 20 meg means anything, I doubt it, probably they need to dig up the roads and put more cabling in. Am in London and imagine evryone down our street is sharing the same cable now. I initially tried many of the fixes suggested here and there but none helped and the fact that its ok in the night leads me to conclude the service is simply not up to all the users. Oh well. Am tempted to change but its such a hassle and no doubt the same thing happens to all the providers in time

Re: 20 Meg From June
 

They won't need to re-lay cable to upgrade the speed. Have you called them to find out why your speed drops to an un-usable level for the majority of the day?

Re: 20 Meg From June
 

great news for some I'm sure, but it'll no doubt mean even more moany threads on CF going 'but I'm only getting 19.99mb!?!?!?!?!!' :dozey:

Re: 20 Meg From June
 

Yeah some people just don't see the words "Up to" ;) Never mind, I'm sure the forum server will be upgraded before then.

Re: 20 Meg From June
 

Actually in some areas where it's not there there is a requirement to lay more fibre in order to resegment areas and split nodes. Loads of fibre went down in Leicester, Southampton and other places.

Some people may see contractors putting string in the ground to do the necessary capacity upgrades to allow for upgrades :)

Re: 20 Meg From June
 

Well having just spoken to retentions today I'd like to give you the information I was given which was supposed to make me re-consider leaving...

".. as from next quarter we will be making 50mb available for just an extra £2 / month on what you are paying now."

That would make 50MB £36.99 a month.

Not sure I believe him, but if he's lying to try to stop people leaving, thats pretty dispicable.

Re: 20 Meg From June
 

Well its fine in my area, no overloading here!
I get 1208kB/s (10MEG) 24/7 here, so bring on the 20Meg!! ;) ;) ;)

Re: 20 Meg From June
 

It seems 20mb is being tested again in my area (Preston) as i just downloaded a tv show at a constant 2400KB,why do i say tested and not rolled out because as many of you will asked i checked my config page and 10mb config remains.I also did a file tranfer to friend to test upload and i uploaded to him at around 80-95KB.;)

Re: 20 Meg From June
 

AGAIN THIS IS ALL *BULL* ******

Why dont you people get it through your heads that BROADBAND SPEED is just a MARKETING TOY.

You're all just letting them continue to DEGRADE OUR SERVICE.

STABLE FAST LATENT NETWORK is what we want not SO CALLED 100000000x speed BROKENBAND.

Cheers

Re: 20 Meg From June
 

Nowt wrong with my 10Mb in Derby. Loving it.

Not real fussy on the 20Mb download, but the extra upload will do a treat. :D I'm quite happy chugging along at 10Mb down.

Re: 20 Meg From June
 

Hoping to get a free bump from 4 to 10 :)

If they're serious about starting TV channels to take on sky they'll try & take em on, on the broadband market as well. Branson loves a fight :D

Sky offer 16Mb for £10 don't they??? Not sure.

Re: 20 Meg From June
 

Same with me. I get that exact same speed 24/7. RB is making this company awesome :tu:.
