I'm not willing to name names m8, as it will embarass those that told me, but rest assured I have it in writing from ntl associates that it was ntl's idea.

I don't think it's anything to do with the size of the network, if what your colleagues say is true, & TW copied ntl, then they are even more efficient than I thought they were-if they can do a speed upgrade on a kneww jerk reaction, why can't ntl do one that they planned 1st?

See above.

Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Telewest managed it-no 'coming soon'/'late summer' from them.

I will
never be cheesed of that I ditched ntl as an ISP.
Do you think just because they will (eventually!) offer a speed increase, that it makes up for all the other cr@p they offer? (
how long have ntl had email problems?

You're lucky, you have the choice of a decent cable ISP. There are many people in London that don't.
So-I have a simple question for ntl.....
Why are ntl customers being told 'late summer' for their speed increase, when Telewest customers already have it, & indeed got it 2 weeks ahead of schedule?
