Fact: NTL will use a profitable model which they can deal to everyone. Fact: 2-bit providers purely basing their 24megs in London as we speak with half a dozen customers (i don't know the real number) can't be taken seriously on a forum which has customers Nationally.

When is my 24meg from be broadband going to get to Norwich?? Yeah right.
Or better still

When will the 24 meg service be in LE which i think is your area. You seem to know a lot about other providers so that bit of information should not be hard to find.

As has been posted before NTL deal with far more customers that most of the Adsl providers put together and it would not cost the Adsl providers half as much to upgrade there systems and equipment as it does Ntl. The same can be said for the upgrade time frame as well.

I have said this before and i will say it again I live in the real world not the fantasy world or the world where statements made by someone become fact in their mind and are quoted as fact.

To be honest 10meg sounds great to me however just like others on this board i would like to see what NTL are going to offer on the unlimited side. I personally would be very happy if they offer me 3meg unlimited as speed is not everything. I when i download tend to download overnight and therefor speed is not a issue to me as i can wait that little bit longer for the download.

At the end of the day you take the service that is for you. If Ntl is not for you then try some other provider if that option is available
