Hi,
Are there any plans for NTL to address their pitiful upload speeds in 2006, or is it time to start looking for an alternative broadband service provider that can provide a better upload ratio?

Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢m very happy with my download speeds (approx 270Kb/s) but an upload speed of 20Kb/s is pitifully slow and completely inadequate for my needs.

I also experiencing the same issues that other have reported on this forum, that the broadband service becomes unusable if Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢m uploading anywhere close to the maximum speed, so in reality I have to throttle my uploads at 15Kb/s otherwise canââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t even surf. This gives an effective upload ratio of 1:18 for the NTL broadband service compared to a more reasonable 1:3 ratio that other providers say they can give for the same money.

I would like to stay with NTL (as it is a hassle to move ISP) but only if they have plans to address the poor upload performance, otherwise my New Year resolution will be to switch to a better broadband provider.
