The "Bloke in the Pub"
reported ages ago that ntl would be trying to bring in the 10Mbs in September, subject to all the upgrade work being completed on schedule.
I think the idea is that when the BT 8Mbs starts in November the media will have to give ntl a mention in the same breath, dumbing the BT speed increase to some extent.

Windows/Firefox starts caching links when you enter a page, if you have enough memory and sit back a while when you enter the page then when you click the link the file will download (from cache) instantly. Now lets think about this, all this cached data is added to your download bandwidth, even if you don't click the link,
not good.
Firefox/Linux does not cache links in the same way, so with Linux you can download more each month for the same bandwidth usage.
Windows tends to throw memory at everything in an effort to make up for its inadequacies.
