We should be getting 375kb upload on the 1.5mb service as the network is set at upload being a quarter of the download.
I was told that blue yonder increased thier upload speeds to 400kbs recently, so maybe nthell have decided to follow suit, they might have changed thier minds since last week, I really hope so. £40 a month and I can't even host a 10 man game on RS3 without lag. You gat 256kbs upload on a BT 512kb connection for £20, are we being ripped of or what.

An upload increase seems very unlikely to me. But 2 people (at least) seem to have been told that it is going to happen (while a 3rd says NTL told him they aren't, but he also says TW/BY *are* increasing theirs).
Confusion on their part? Confusion on the part of whoever spoke to them?
