on Leicester.

Stouffer I feel sorry for you, personally I dont think its right that some customers wait for what could be 6 months after other customer's for upgrades, and I am also in Leicester and now on 1.5mbit, but the performance is abysmal at the moment with fluctuating pings and transfer speeds, I think the Leicester part of ntl's infrastructure is in need of a rehaul we have been stuck on analogue tv and poorer internet performance then other national ntl customers for a while now.

On upload speed increase

I think ntl were planning on not increasing upload speed but didnt confirm this in case the market reacted since their initial announcement and now telewest have announced increased upload speeds and this new LLU ADSL residental isp from easynet I think ntl will raise upload speed's to keep with the pace, wether or not only the top tier gets the increase will remain to be seen but I would be surprised if we dont see 384kbit now.
