Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

10megs at £37 or whatever it is by NTL seems like a steal compared to £24 for upto 24meg

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

To be honest, this seems too good to be true but if it isn't then I'm going to have a hard time justyifing staying with NTL and I'm not sure how NTL would be able to compete in such a short period of time. Even if BE were to only offer 3meg, the upload speed, static ip, price and lack of worry about usage are all reasons to move.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

BE are only in a small number of locations compared to your NTL network and are probably cherry picking the most profitable cities/exchanges/locations.

The same thing happened when cable came to Britain, they'll expand in time.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I hope they do but it's daft to compare their product with NTLs when almost no-one can get it!

Unlike NTL's service, which absolutely no one at all can get! :rolleyes:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

well if you don't like it you can always sign up to BE, Bulldog, UK-Online etc

TBH the only problems i've had with my connection has been when the STB would lock up which has only happened once since i got my new Samsung so i'm pretty happy with the service and any speed upgrades i get a welcome capped or not

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Wow 1.3 meg upload! I would love to have that! I think i will ring them and see if i can get it :)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I don't think even the most die-hard NTL fans would stay if they could get a (upto) 24mbit/1.3mbit connection.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

true but i see so many people complaining and saying company xyz is better but none of them ever move they just stay with NTL and moan.. until we see comments on here from someone on BE we don't know if the above speeds are actually reachable yet

as i said the service with NTL is actually pretty good

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I dont think anybody would either! and with 1.3mb upload speeds too! I dont think NTL will be able to compete with that.....

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Be: Not available on our exchange. Bulldog: Not available on our exchange. UK Online: Not available on our exchange.

I'd leave NTL at the drop of a hat for any of them. Having said that, it's probably nice and easy for you to say, living in Bromley. :rolleyes:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

an upload of (upto) 1.3meg sounds very appealing.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Well i will be staying with NTL so that shot that statement down in flames :LOL: :angel: .

Just checked there Address checker. March next year :Yikes: . 2.2 km from the exchange which should give me between 9 to 14 meg. Hardly the 24 that they are saying. But they get away with that by saying up-to :dunce: . Still i am happy with what i have :).



Wonder how long before there is a www.behell.co.uk

Silly me i forgot i just registered that name :LOL:

Of course, in adspeak 'up to' means 'less than' and 'from' means 'more than' ;)
