Here's the text of a card that turned up today; I'd scan it in, but I don't have a scanner handy. :P

I expect it only went to 3 Meg customers.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)

I didn't get it. Wonder if its because I have a Samsung STB? Hope we don't have the same 'STB wait' we had last time.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)

I thought I was the only one who didn't receive the card, I'm also stupid enough to have DTV, and receive BB through an STB, we will probably have to wait months as we did in the previous two upgrades (the 1.5MB upgrade I received my samsung in June and had to wait until November to get 1.5MB), people who pay less by not having DTV, and receive their BB through a SACM always are upgraded first, well worth £1000+ per year for the past 3 years, and analog/dialup before that for 3 years, all I can say is if the 75GB cap is enforced I will be of to adsl/ Sky (with a more realistic cap), which I put off for the hassle of switching companys, canceling and setting up DD's.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)

Samsung STB 3mb here as well and no card, looks like a pattern, guess we will be last yet again :(

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)

You will probably find with the pace of the competition in the broadband market that Ntl will ditch the caps next year or will increase them to a more competitive level, this would make sense to keep up with other providers that will be receiving tv etc by broadband. There is also the fact that they have dropped the price of the top tier to the same level as telewest & as they both come under the same umbrella now an equalisation of prices/packages would seem logical too
