Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase

1/theres your 24/7 P2P download users who use both upstream and downstream

2/ then theres your newsgroup subscribers who download 24/7 also but don't use their upstream as much

3/ and then there is your more concerning downloader who will download the latest film or game maybe but not use the network 24/7 but will go over the limit per month and hardly use any upstream

4/ followed by the users who will downloaded to their allocted cap limit

5/and lastly people who just play games,browse and do the odd bit of downloading and uploading, like demos', freeware, ect,ect

Now i'm no Saint and i prob come under number 3 a fair few times, but this has only happened due to the speed increases, before that i was one of them 24/7 users as speed wasn't fast enought to get what i wanted then leave network free and unused.

So to be fair although there is those that extract the urine but to actually have a faster download speed i would have thought eased the network slightly as people like myself get what they want and then not download anything unlike before? - and i bet there is thousands of users under number 3 at present and hundreds under number 1
