the way i see it is after 3 months i ring again and do the same again or get put back to 4mb (which the guy at ntl said would be 10meg in january)
so how have they sold a 20mb connection?
I'm never going to pay £35 per month for BB as there is no need to, and i guess thats what 20mb will cost.
I'm chuffed to bits with 4MB to be honest, as i always have full speed any time 24/7, just hope it stays that way. I think its down to the fact no one uses ntl where i live for some reason, i live in a block with 8 flats all of which have cable up to there lounge window, mine is the only one with the cable un coiled and fitted. i have looked at the back of the other 3 blocks of flats and there is 2 other people with it fitted. so out of 32 flats that can have ntl there is only 3 using it! and we have a ntl green street box out side the first block, is that just for us? or will lots of streets be on it?
the other lucky thing is the bt phone exchange is 50 meters away on other side of road, so if i want to leave ever i should be able to get a good contection there to

"The person i spoke to in customer relations said in january they are going to have new higher speeds on there BB and the lowest will be 4MB, with the current 4MB going to 10mb, and 10MB which im now on for 3 months will become 20MB, I asked if there would be one higher than 20mb to which he said yes but not in january, 2 or 3 months later there will be a 50MB service. "



I am saying that reading into what you said if you cancel the 10mb speed after three months you will be back on 4mb, that correct?
But, if you do not cancel after three months the 10mb speed you are getting now at a discount will become 20mb, you did mention 20mb in your original post?
So, why I am saying that they will have sold a 20mb speed is because after your current 3 months expires, you either call them to go back to your 4mb or do nothing and the 10mb youre currently on becomes 20mb, may be the way I read it but you did say 20mb are they going to let you have 20mb for what you are paying now?
50mb is being piloted now for release in 2008, unless NTL wish to make a call to the mail on sunday and ask what they are on about
