So basically we do not know right now but going to 3mb can not be a loss considering the amount of internet I use ( I hardly sleep so its on most of the day unless we go out. )

I know what you mean, almost £10 a week seems a lot to me as well, but as I get so much pleasure from it I prefer to make cuts elsewhere.
The one consolation is that I do get the speed I pay for although the service has been a little dickey the past few weeks during the maintenance upgrades but it is better than ever now.

The problem with upload speed is that it isn't headline grabbing, that and the fact that cable infrastructure in this country was only intended to have
adequate upstream.
The fact that ntl would prefer more customers on their capped top tier may just make them up it somewhat to tempt a few more souls, but I doubt if the uncapped tiers will be anything like as much, the P2P users are the ones likely to bring the locality to a grinding halt if they had a high upstream running 24/7.
If we are lucky we may get 768Kb upstream on the top capped tier whereas I cannot see the uncapped tiers getting more than 384Kbs.
You can bet that ntl will try to make the capped tiers the ones that 98% of people choose to go for.
