Hmmm I still don't trust TW as far as I could throw one of their members of staff.

They advertised 10mb broadband in 1997 when they were Cableinet, and thats us just getting it now. Big woop.

And is it really going to be any good? Fair enough a 10mb download sounds great, but what crappy upload are they going to give us?

I have a 4mb account and the upload is still only 384k. You might think the upload doesn't really matter but think about when you are playing online games, your comp uploads just as much as it downloads.

TW connections have always sucked arse (pitty they are the only broadband supplier in my area). They advertise rapid speeds and their connections are terrible. Go try a 4mb connection in central europe and you'll see what they are supposed to be like. The connection rate on cable is totally shocking.

TW really need to get their arse in gear and do some catching up. Internet-wise theiy are still pretty slow (especially on the upload), TV-wise they are leaps and bounds behind Sky. Still no PVR???
