As I work at NTL I thought I might share some knowledge for those who don't know already.
Your broadband speeds are increasing from the end of this month as follows.
300k > 1Mb
750k > 2Mb
1.5Mb> 3Mb
This will stamp out even more lag as people who are downloading on PC will still have enough bandwith to stop others lagging when playing.
For those who know don't flame me, this is for people who didn't know
Not in Q1.
End of this month. Some customers already been upgraded, you can check this by looking at your cable modems config file ;-). If the file name is eg. xtrial (x means speed) then you can see that you have already been done.surely he shouldnt be suggesting this as a method?
I know a few people who have already been upgraded without knowing.
I'll get the info on upload speeds now as I am at work.
(I spend far too much time on here when I should be working)
Ok upload speeds are -
1mb = 128k
2mb = 256k
3mb = 256k
Hope that answers your questions as for caps.
1mb = 5Gb a month
2mb = 30Gb a month
3mb = 40Gb a month
Note - Xbox Live usage does not go towards your monthly usage allowance ;-)
Remember NTL DO NOT enforce these caps and only 0.2% of abusers of service have ever been contacted. You will NEVER be cut off or charged, all NTL do IF they ever contact you is ask you to adjust your usage but they will NOT cut you off or charge.
Just for those who are funny about the caps.
Thats correct dude.
Remember the 30Gb cap is not enforced whatsoever, its merely a guideline that NTL use but rumour in the office says that these caps are being abolished in the near future anyway as too much concern is brought about by them so don't worry about caps. [?]
But your connection will be 2048/256 mate.
I'm lucky as I managed to have my connection tweaked by a 'friend' who works in one of the centres in the country and got an upload speed of 384, so my games I host are lag free and I always play with my PC switched OFF or with no activity.
It depends. I did forget to mention this but here is a tip to avoid any charge for it, IF you are to be charged, like I said though, some people have already been done automatically.
Ring the retentions department once the upgrade is officially done (I'll let you all know) and you can just say I want to cancel my broadband account if I have to pay this admin fee as other ISP's will do it for free.
The number is 08000520511
