£25 Administration Fee
Simon Duffy - Chief executive of ntl has told me that these upgrades are going to cost ntl tens of millions of pounds, he doesn't expect customers to pay for the increases but it does not seem unreasonable to ask them to contribute a modest amount to the cost of the upgrade. Simon says, Wanadoo has done the same for its 1 MB product.
Usage Allowance
The usage caps are that previously mentioned in this thread they have been confirmed as:-
1Mbps = 5GB month usage allowance.
2Mbps = 30GB month usage allowance.
3Mbps = 40GB month usage allowance.
Simon Duffy has stated to me:-
"I think the market needs to accept that the days of unlimited usage for all are over. The vast majority of users will not be impacted by the limits, but the small number who regularly use GB by the ton drive our costs up significantly and, since we are not a charity, we need to recover them somehow. It doesn't seem fair to ask the majority of moderate users to subsidise the small number of heavy users and usage caps are the best way to ensure fair treatment for all."
Upload Speeds
NTL will release more information such as this in the new year however ntl do not think that the current upload speeds will be changing.
Going on the fact that they have not given me a definitive answer, is probably an indication that they have not made a final decision on what the upload speeds will be.
