perfectly true. And if you are expecting to be downloading at over 1mbps from every website you come accross think again.
10mb is only useful really if u have a network of say 3 computers....then u will b able to use connection to full extent.

I agree. It's terrible that the increase they are giving you (for free) isn't here yet. :dozey:
In fact if I was you I'd cancel my subscription completely and move to another ISP who will give you the 10Meg speed at the same price of Telewest.

Or you could contact Telewest and demand a refund on the cost of the subscription over what you were paying before until you get the 10Meg speed. :rolleyes:

I will do with my 10mbit what I do with my 2mbit, I just feel 10mbit is just something that sounds cool and is over hyped which is why I asked hes so excited about it.

You're 33 years old (apparently) :) Patience I'm sure is something you can manage some of. Can't see where Telewest have promised anything definitive, and these things can be delayed for various reasons.

Yes from the end of spet 05 till jan 06

Why cant people wait. All this crying is not going to make it happen quicker. Just stfu moaning sit down and wait for the free upgrade. If not there is always DSL where speeds are "UP TO"

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 
what? im supposed to kissing blueyonders ass for taking action against the oppositions announcements, and evolving the communications service of the UK, to bring us upto speed with the rest of the world?

i think not. it's there duty. and don't tell me there doing me a favour. i still pay 50 pounds a month for the privlidge of my internet connection. im not saying i should moan --- I choose to do this. all im saying is there getting a sweet deal too. its not for "free". its evolution -_- but wait. i'm a 17 year old school kid. what do i know.

edit:oh, and adsl isn't "availible" in my area. so my only choice of internet due to my mum putting the phone line with telewest is blueyonder. i'm supposed thank them for that?
