Re: Bye Bye NTL..........
It really depends what you do with your connection. If you game and the game has a 20k data stream, then you can host at most 6 external players on 128k with little spare capacity, on 256, you could host 10-12.
If you run a small business, use your connection to timbuktu into work or vpn then the slow upload means that you do feel remote when it comes to saving documents etc, uploading new images for products etc to the a website takes longer.

I've just downgraded to 750k, I noticed that uploading photos to shutterfly (4MP / 2Mb + images) was sufficiently slow for me to go get a coffee and it had not completed.

The internet is moving to a point where many legal activities would find a higher upload speed beneficial.
