Your not getting ripped off at all though really, have ntl not just upgraded you to 3mb for the same money that you where paying before just like they'll not be holding their hand out for more when they upgrade you to 10mb for free when its possible to do it.

Ntl will be doing this upgrade when it's feasible to do, thereââ‚ÆšÃ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s more than just banging a bit of extra kit into the exchange to be done. bb will have to develop the 10mb config file, that will have to be tested to make sure it does not kill modems. They'll have to do reports to see what equipment (cm's) will need changing and then manage to get it changed before it upgraded. This clearly is not going to happen overnight. Fair play to ntl as they are improving all products at the same time (except phones , thereââ‚ÆšÃ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s not much you can do with them).

Lets not forget where we have come from its not long ago if you wanted a 128k connection you had to fork out mega ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£ÃƒÆ ’‚£ for a ISDN line.

And Britain is still very new with HFC cable networks compared to the US and Canada.

Bill don't let them get to you, If they really where that hacked off they could always go to bulldog (snigger).
