ntl have now announced a speed increase, and this time Telewest followed suit. Yet again I have been told that ntl are simply copying Telewest. My question, in two parts, is: Why is the exact same situation viewed entirely differently this time round, and how can ntl have been copying Telewest BOTH times?

And surely those who take that view will accept Telewest Speed Increases earlier this year were copying Speed Increases ntl introduced on the 512k and 128k services before hand
And the 8Mb service is just and ADSL providers 'kneejerk reaction' to the cable speed increases! With no actual garuntee that 'anyone' will actually recieve the full speed as they quote 'UK Online will allow the user to connect to the service at the maximum speed available to their line'
Mmm I read into that.........you wont recieve the speed unless you live on/next to the exchange. The same as BT Claim people within 5km of the exchange can recieve upto 2Mb yet many on my street 4km from the exchange cannot recieve 1Mb ADSL!
Terrible
