Re: Thinking of moving to Telewest cable in Exeter - good plan or not?

speed- i live in london and i get 9ms as an average to bbc.co.uk, and on 4mb download speeds of about 480kbps from a fast server.
rollout is to be completed by early 2006, so i wouldn't worry about regional availability. if you are in a tw enabled area, you will be able to get your chosen speed.

Upload - something nice to have, I heard it will be 384kbps? Is this correct or will it be lower / is this subject to the upgrades as well?
if you are planning to buy the broadband complete (1mb soon 4mb package) then when the rollout is done for your area you will have upload of 384kbps.
hmm speed depends... i can usually upload at around 44kbps to a fast server. speed tests say around 380kbps. however if you max it out it does affect your download speed.

if you order service before region has been upgraded you will get 1mbps download and 128kbps upload. then after upgrade you will get 4mbps download and 384kbps upload. check http://blueyonder.co.uk/evenfaster to find out when your region will be upgraded.

Hope some of this helps.
