Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase

10Mbit = 100GB/day = 3TB/month, and you can guarantee there will be idiots who do that. TW are in for some fun.

Also TW have made a huge concession with remaining uncapped - the upload on their 10Mbit product, a mere 384kbps.

Harm offering 10Mbit uncapped is it only takes 4 planks to cripple several thousand quid of capacity - as TW may well find out in the near future.

You'll hate me for this but I hope that the uncapped packages are at most the current 1/2/3Mbit (this is most likely I reckon) preferably 512k, 1Mbit and 2Mbit, especially with the increasing rarity of uncapped DSL products.

I am hardly bothered about the cap I know the monthly cap I am below but I do know I occasionally break the 1gig a day.. 10mb speed would be nice as a boost if ineeded something quick. But!! I can live without it
