Re: Speed Upgrade

Quote:
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.

I know a few people who have already been upgraded without knowing
Strange one this, end of this month and no announcement? yeah, ok, (even the last upgrade was offically announced a month in advance).

Even stranger how he says people have been upgraded, If its like the one just gone its done ubr by ubr (Isnt it? :P) And so he could say where has been done (like the first lot last time was up near manchester wasnt it?), Ive got no evidence to disbelieve him, but theres not much to back it up either.

Ok upload speeds are -

1mb = 128k
2mb = 256k
3mb = 256k
Say what???!!! Thats weird...

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 ;-)
Stopped Believing him at this point, how does your modem know what is being downloaded? Im willing to be proved wrong but surely they measure total traffic to your modem (less ntl bg noise etc) rather than the type of info?

Quote:
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
I thought the entire point of this is to make the caps hard, and after you reach them the speed is reduced or you are charged more, or something, I dont see the point in informing people of a change to the cap and then not enforcing it :/
