Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

We're not getting it at the end of 2006 - 3Mbps users will get the upgrade at the end of 2005, 1Mbps and 2Mbps users will get the upgrades 'sometime' in 2006 - probably the first few months or so. :) (Can't give you a link as I haven't got one.. but it's just common knowledge.)

Actually, I sort of can - http://www.cableforum.co.uk/article/...ed-as-standard.

See "By the end of 2006, the roll out of this new product portfolio will be complete.". So that means all will be automatically upgraded to 10Mbps by the end of next year, not all will begin to be automatically be upgraded. :tu:

"By the end of this year they will have a connection of up to 10Mb, while their usage allowance will increase from 30GB to 75GB per month."
Does It take 1 year to complete the roll out ?:shocked: ROFL

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

How long do you think it should take then? Have you upgraded a network the size of ntls for a project like this before? :scratch:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

i think it shud take abt 6 months.. well i think they shud hav announced abit later :D

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

They didn't really have a choice about when they announced it, either they announced early, or risked being overlooked and left behind. It's a lot easier to give excuses and lies as to why things are being rolled out late, than to win back your place in the market due to being left behind.

bye, see ya. Enjoy your ukonline pay_for_8meg_get_5 sometimes_but_more_than likely_1mb then.

Lets just remember that ntl's staff are bound by non disclosure agreements. Those that can be arsed can subscribe to various email newsletter internally and view the development of projects. Thereââ‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s a change management email thatââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s quite freely accessible that details all of the network changes in the coming months.



Thereââ‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s only so much they can tell the public though and thatââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s the issue the staff will be told 'tell them its by the end of next year' because its commercially sensitive information and till its ready to launch they don't want you to know the timescales and for good reason if you look at the last upgrade thread.



And what do you care anyway, your not an ntl account holder or even eligible to have a account so should not have spoke to customer service yet. Be a good lad and put your mum on




:D

Would somebody care to tell them not to tell porkies then, and just to say that they "don't know yet"? Giving people duff information doesn't help - giving people no information does no harm.

Eh? I don't think I know you, do I?! :confused:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase

2 wrongs don't make a right though m8. :)

Peeps-please settle down, there's really no need for these insults.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I didn't intend to insult anyone!

It seems to me, from reading this forum and others, that the majority of NTL CS reps tell porkies. I'm not saying they all do, I'm sure you don't, but some could do with being told not to. :dozey:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Sorry :angel: i have removed the smilie

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I would have thought a company like NTL would have some idea as to the way the market was going with regards to speed increases etc, in advance of when they announce upgrades.

These speeds are better rolled out properly rather than rushed too, no good advertising a speed of 10mb or up to 10mb & people only being able to get 2 - 3mb with the occasional peak of 10mb.

Better to take a bit of time & get speeds of 8 mb with more regular peaks of 10mb
