yay just been laughed at by my fellow irc users from places like Holland and Sweden when I mentioned from November I'll be surfing at 512k,its not so much the speeds too if I was 10mb and 75gb capped they'd be laughing too.NTL is so behind now.

Ive been downgraded to 512k from November,tbh I'm one of the few guys who couldnt careless about this,I managed to pull 150gbs in September without really trying.It was only 3-4 months back I was moved from 750k to 1.5mb so have been paying too much for that period at £24.99 when I should of had proper 2mb with good U/L.We all know that these 10mb speeds are pointless if you cant use it so I'll see how I go,still should blow a hole in what that cap is set at 75gb pm.

In fairness Ive had a great run with ntl 4-5 years of uncapped service never had a time really untill now Ive felt its time to move on,if their userbase is big enough they dont want people who d/l or really use bandwith.I'm sure they'll change when it hits their pockets and their userbase moves on and new users wont sign because of the poor packages.

This downgrading is moving people back to when they 1st signed with nynex and cable & wireless 4-5 years ago,only now other isp's competition is alot better than dial-up these days,so people will move.

I'll hold out now till SkyDigital bring out their net service or untill the football season ends which evers 1st.and change my whole package over as I'm sure £18pm for 512k is a joke next to other services these days just got the bulldog flyer again and aol uncapped looks ok infact is there a worse higher cost service than £18 for 512k ? I bet 3rd world countrys are better than this.

all the best theNomad
All we ask is a fair speed for price uncapped.its not much is it.

"I just found out also that the TV packages are changing cost even though not one week earlier they said the new channels where coming at no extra cost,so what I'll be saving on the net price being downgraded I'll be paying for channels I didnt want.Wont be just me pulling out too."
damn ntl giving with one hand taking with the other again.

Watch out in 2006 for more Broadband choice,including a range of services with unlimited usage allowances.

For the fine service NTL have given me and because I dont want to waste money on buying a 2nd premiership plus pass with SKY I'll give them till May with this current 512k when the football season comes to an end,if they dont offer a mid level package around 1.5mb-3mb uncapped at an OK cost then I'll be forced out.As the fast but capped services are as pointless to me as this 512k is.
