open a new thread on the dispute and I will tell you my thoughts it would make this thread go off topic.

running at 10meg how long would it take you to use up 30gig if running at full speed? 30 mins a day roughly I recon but correct me if that isn't right.

that's the only thing stopping everyone causing a network traffic jam - the fact that if you're constantly downloading, you'll soon run out of 'allowance'.

I havnt recieved a letter but I wouldnt be suprised if it took them until 2007 to do it. They are slow about everything.

Doesnt suprise me that letter, the 10mb thing seems to be purely a marketing thing, tw already have users on 10mb and ntl cant be seen to be so far behind not when they have just bought telewest.

The 'some' refered to in the letter is probably existing 3Mb customers.

I think a few thousand people will be annoyed if they havent had the upgrades a year later then others have had it.

I don't get why, they can upgrade to 3mb. I pay more so i should get more. I had the choice, i could stay on 2mb, or i could flirt with 10mb for a laugh this year, which i decided to do. Unless i am misreading your post? Which if i have, i apologise.

the people that are on 3MB when you get the change over to the 10MB if the upload is still 30kb/s will you go else where or do you think they will change it coz they have never changed there upload speed before just a thought........

There's a lesson to be learnt here. Don't waste NTL's resources with questions we already know the answer to. :)

And anyway, it's not like they'd ever know what's going on. :erm:
