I'd like it to be true, so I'll keep my fingers crossed (but won't hold my breath) because I'd most likely downgrade to 4Mb if that were the case.

there's also a new thread on digitalspy this morning claiming this as fact.

I can confirm that this is true. Just checked the intranet :)

I think this is to get the speeds a bit more in line with the Telewest offerings.

or downgrade if you compare it to what was promised last year and I can imagine some customers 1meg and 2meg will be a bit ****ed off when they find out they have held back moving to ADSL based on the belief they were getting a free upgrade to 10meg this summer.

New and existing 3Mb Broadband customers are the first to experience the power of 10Mb.

Is this for all ntl customers, everywhere?

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 
it's even clearer here that ALL customers should expect 10meg by the end of 2006:-

The new product strategy creates a set of “up to 10Mb as standard” cable broadband products with different bandwidth options to match usage plus a series of unlimited products at different speeds
