Thanks for the info, I'm pretty sure the cards had to be upgraded to provide the higher download speeds, so there is a bit of capacity in the system. I do not believe it is technical though, the speeds are marketted on the headline figure of download and ntl don't want people to downgrade and pay less!

Are ntl really proposing to provide

down/up

1000/64
2000/128
3000/256

Connections?

The standard ADSL is

512/256

Why don't ntl double the upload speeds and include it in the cap (as I believe capped ADSL does)?
