Also, would be interesting if any Telewest customers could let us know what the 4mb service is like, are you experiencing all the slowdowns that people claim would happen on an uncapped service? Are people suffering on the same UBR's, due to overuse?

Increasing speeds and staying with an uncapped service may only be problematic if users significantly alter the usage of their connection. One result that may be experienced is that users may not always get the maximum speed that their connection is rated at, but that is the result of contention which comes more into play the nearer the speed is to the overall capacity . What is better though, a 3Mb connection that at times only runs at 2 Mb or a 1.5 Mb connection?
