NTL is planning to double or even treble the speed of all its cable broadband users' connections over the next four weeks.
Cable Forum has learned that 300Kbps users will be upgraded to 1Mbps, 750Kbps to 2Mbps and 1.5Mbps to 3Mbps
The increases will be free, but as some 300Kbps customers may not be prepared to take the 3GB monthly data limit that comes with the new speed, they will have the option of upgrading. Downstream traffic on the new 2Mbps and 3Mbps connections will be capped at 30Gb and 40GB respectively.
Cable forum believes, but has not had it confirmed, that users exceeding their limit will have their speed restricted to 56Kbps, the same as dial-up.
