Re: Newbie needs your views
Anything you can do NOW on dialup, you can do 6x on the 300k - my worst speed issues are the times when nothing moves at all, and in that case, no amount of speed upgrades will help.
Actually, while the download is 6x, the upload (as you'd be on 300k/64 with a cable modem, if not taking TV as well) is only 2x. With TV as well, broadband through the old Pace STB (may be different with the Samsung), you get 300k/128 - the only case where you actually get any advantage from taking multiple services!
On the 750k/128, the download is 15x, and the up is 4x.

If you held fire until the speed changes are done, you could avoid the £25 admin fee.

If you ever do get broadband on your exchange though, Phones4U's £34.99 deal that takes over the BT Line rental, and does the same as their current £24.99 package - unlimited 512k broadband and unlimited local/national calls anytime - while you get no consideration AT ALL for taking all 3 NTL services.
