It seems that it's the upload speeds that causes most problems for ntl's netwoek. So, why not have diffrent packages based soley on upload speed? Everyone could, network permitting, all download at 10mb. But, everyone would be on diffrent upload packages depending on what you use and prepared to pay.

Plus, if ntl ever do bring out their legal p2p services, it would be another way to make money out of the downloaders. Don't get charged for what you download, but what you upload. No uploads, no downloads...
download causes problems especially if the bottom tier was 10mbit with unlimited bandwidth. When its said its hard to provide upload bandwidth I meant rather its harder to provide 1meg upload then 1 meg download.

Also bear in mind although there seems to be a moderate amount of users on here demanding high upload speeds the generic web surfer isnt interested in upload speeds and the headline spec of the product is download speed.

to add I would be ****ed of also tho if I was paying 35 notes and had a downgrade of upload speed, but then again I would be one of the few probably upgrading to the £50 tier if it turned up.
