:p:

Just wondering but 90% of the time i get 1534 for the test, if theres an offset it usually is 1556, but ive done multiple over the day and its all like that....might my area be undersubscribed to ntl...if there could be such a phrase? Sorry if this seems a bit pointless...just wondering.

I'm just being greedy but I would have thought I deserve upping to 900k at least !!!

I dont work for ntl but in my opnion its because before the upgrade the 600k package was easily the best value for money, after the price rise the 1mbit had to go up by a significant amount and the bottom package is probably going to have to compete with 256kbit adsl and low end 512kbit adsl packages so that also needed a fair upgrade but the 600kbit package is already competitive and at 900kbit a lot of 1mbit users would be too tempted to downgrade although I think ntl should have upped the upload on the 600kbit to 256kbit and on 1mbit to 384kbit.

Ref this new speed then, is the price staying at £37.99 as planned? (for the 1.5mbit that is). If this is the case then I may well move across to ADSL after all becuase although the 1.5mbit is very nice indeed, I would rather pay £30 a month for 1mbit/256, get a email service that works, a web space with PHP and MYSQL and of course been able to use this Fab speed on a more constant basis (Scunthorpe + others i think have some major problems at the moment).

I want to change my poll answer now to YES - I have been upgraded, initially like a spoilt child throwing a tantrum, :p: I had voted NO - because I had yet to be upgraded, but now I'm sitting pretty on 750K. ;)

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 
The postcode checker shows I have been upgraded but speed tests show otherwise, anyone else had this problem?
