Yeah, I'm expecting around the 5Mbit mark but am Hoping! for a bit more. I would like to get something like 8Mbit with a 1Mbit upload on it so I can at least get the same sort of connection most of europe had last year Most of my Euro friends have recently moved to 20Mbit but still keeping the 1Mbit upload.


Just wondering though if the quote from NTL about only 2% of it's customers going over the cap is to be beleived??

If in fact only 2% DO go over the cap then what harm could their be in offering 10Mbit without a cap? As hardly anyone would go over it.....AND if they are upping it to 75GB then that must surely reduce that 2% further still?

I think they are not giving the right figures there.......

Anyway, I will not put any pen to paper until the end of the year that way I can see what ADSL has to offer in my area in the coming months. I am apparently only 1.93KM from my exchange so I am hoping to get something half decent from that. Then I can way up NTL against ADSL for the first time properly.

Hopefully NTL will come up trumps though as 4 Good years service (With the odd Hicup) would be a shame to jump ship......Would feel Kinda guilty doing it to!! lol


Fingers are crossed NTL, don't let me down.
