the upload speeds aren't going to be increased. |
According to the announcment made by NTLs Cheif Exec last Nov they are, and that's also what I've heard on the various other forums I visit. Leaving it at 128k (what my uplaod currently is with 750k download) when you're on a 2mb download would be daft.
I was speaking to someone in Broandband Tech Support on Friday tea-time at the speed upgrade, as I wondered if you had to register for it, or whether it would happen automatically. He reckoned he didn't know what I was talking about (might have been pretending they didn't know to keep things hush-hush for now). I told him about the speed increases quoted etc and he went off and asked someone. While he was away I remembered the article I'd read on
The Register quoting Simon Duffy, the NTL Chief Exec. When he came back on the phone he reckoned no-one there knew anything about it, so I gave him the address of the webpage (click The Register link above), to show him.
He didn't have an answer, just saying to keep watching the ntlworld website for news. But the announcement has been made already, so I don't know why they'd deny it.

Sorry, that link was to the announcement of the new download speeds, it doesn't mention the upload speed. I've seen it somewhere else, but can't remember at the moment.
