Come on it's nice to have something positive from NTL for once.What ever their reasons for doing so,I for one,am not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Just as long as the 'coming soon' really does mean coming soon.As they are trying to keep up with Telewest in this I think there is a good chance that it does.
So lets us  and try to  a little less

Well personally I think it does nothing for either the gamers or the users.
NTL use another cheap ploy to make their none so clued up customers think they are giving them something for nothing.
Increasing speeds will do nothing more than flood an already saturated network.
Increasing speeds will do nothing to help the gamers as speed increase will have no bearing on pings.
As you mention the gamers carping on the sidelines and quite rightly they are too - they are forever ignored by NTL who refuse to acknowledge them and sweep their issues under the carpet.
Rather than address the issue the gamers have by a saturated network NTL choose to offer sweetners to the others hoping their feelings will outweigh the gamers complaints.
To me another **** poor attempt from NTL to rob Peter to pay Paul.
I am willing to put money on the fact after these speeds are increased NTL will be quick off the mark to start actually enforcing the Cap now that the speeds can reach it quicker.
And am also willing to put money on the fact that they will do nothing to assist the gamers and improve the network or mail servers or newsgroups.
I agree we should all unite and
and try to
a little less.
I doubt many gamers will agree with the above as by now they have all ditched NTL and found a decent ISP for pings and no longer need to carp.
