Ntl to reduce upload speed on 10mb
 

I saw this on the other site, and if it is true and not just a typo, it seems pointless to continue paying £34.99 for the same upload as the 4mb tier :td:

LOL Why do you think I downgraded from 10meg to 2meg - It certainly wasn't because I wanted to save pennies (I've been giving Telewest top tier money for over 5 years) : More like I didn't want to waste pennies ;)

They rang me up the other week and as asked if everything was ok with the downgrade and stuff : I gave them a good piece of my mind.

I am confident that is a typo :)

NTL making a mistake....... nooooooooo ;)

Bet you this thread goes to pages before the end of the weekend and by then it will be FACT and everyone will be on to retentions claiming discounts :LOL:

Re: Ntl to reduce upload speed on 10mb
 

I believe those the upload speeds on TW :)

Re: Ntl to reduce upload speed on 10mb
 

Indeed and that's why i think its a typo. They have redesigned the page in the last day or two and it could have been done by someone involved with the Telewest side of things or it could be true. I can see it being upsetting to the torrent fans if it is true, That's one of the reasons i use the newsgroups, The upload is far to low if you are a p2p users..

Re: Ntl to reduce upload speed on 10mb
 

I've been on to retentions over this and they have agreed to free broadband for the next four generations of the Angry family, free TV and our own syndicated TV reality show and to pay off the outstanding mortgage on our holiday home.

I think their direct debit for next month is safe!

Re: Ntl to reduce upload speed on 10mb
 

Excellent news. Let me know if you want a plasma tv and lcds in every room as well. That's the new offer from retentions for those that say the magic word and only phone on a sunday every blue moon.

Re: Ntl to reduce upload speed on 10mb
 

Bill, get with the programme - the plasma offer was last week!!

It's already virtually becoming fact over at nth :erm::

Was talking about this today to an NTL employee...

Apparently they are altering the speeds so 20mbit can have 512k up!

And these are also the same upload speeds TW users have...i guess they want the same all across?[/quote]

If it is true, you would imagine they would increase Telewest's upload, rather than decrease Ntl's :rolleyes:

Re: Ntl to reduce upload speed on 10mb
 

Ok if you want to take it as gospel fine. But i have heard nothing and i honestly think its a typo. Plus show me where NTL have said they are going to give customers 20 meg. NOTE i said NTL not the rumour maker on the street corner.

NTL trailed 20 meg yes. But that does not mean they will release it.

Re: Ntl to reduce upload speed on 10mb
 

Same 'typo' here:

Another downgrade request going in if it's true. Good of NTL to twist my arm to save £10/month...

Re: Ntl to reduce upload speed on 10mb
 

yes and no, from the view of a customer wanting more for their money you would expect telewest's to be increased. from a network view point, there will be a reason why telewest's upload is lower and if it means it cant be increased without substantial changes to the network or price then it'll obviously be the limiting factor and so ntl's will have to be reduced

Re: Ntl to reduce upload speed on 10mb
 

what the hell...... My mates got BT ADSL and it bloody uploads faster than this!! and he is on 8mb.....
I would expect an ratio of upload like 1mb for every 10mb atleast
