that is excellent new for people in those areas, so the ntl upgrade team move on to another area.

This is indeed good news. Thank you for (what I very much hope is) this 'insider' information Bigitup_j, that's really what this thread is all about.
I am in one of the mentioned areas, and I await it being offered officially. As yet, it is not shown as available via the ntlhome
"what's available in my area?" online lookup facility. It is of course sensible behaviour from NTL's standpoint to ensure that everything is working correctly before offering it to everyone in those areas.
I'll update this thread as and when I (a) get offered broadband, and (b) successfully have it installed, up and running.
I've got other friends around London who are also waiting for broadband who arn't in these postcodes, so I hope that information about broadband rollout continues to be posted to this forum.
I am almost certain that I'll get NTL broadband- but it'd be good if someone could fill me in on what the bandwidth cap is? Basically I can see myself using the web & email of course, listening/ watching some streaming content and downloading a some tunes from Kazaa (the copyright association's favourite internet app 
).
I guess it's using Kazaa or other Peer-to-Peer file sharing systems that'll eat the bandwidth- though I don't see myself using it particularly heavily (the sound quality isn't that good).
