I currently have 2MB broadband with ntl, I am thinking of upgrading to the 3MB service but I have a few questions or rather two....

1. Will I start a whole new 12 month contract and will I be able to downgrade at any time back to my original service if I don't like it or have any probs.

2. Will my web pages load any faster or is it just downloads that will see the speed increase.

I mainly use my internet connection for email and general browsing as well as maintaining my website.

I also have another question that someone might be able to help me with and it's this:

If I leave my pc on and say I use it after 15-20 minutes of in activity, When I click internet explorer it comes up saying im off line and I have to click online then everything is ok. Somewhere along the line my computer disables my internet connection. I have the ntl250 cable modem connected to a second eithernet card, I have tried switching off the power saving feature on the card but it still does it. anyone know how to stop this from happening?
