so the NTL 2meg product is comparible with normal ADSL for upload. the 1meg product has a poor upload rate.

and the 10meg product has an upload rate which most ADSL products dont/cant match and dont come anywhere near (yet).
Right - understood. Yes, I must admit, watching the upload of even smallish video files (around 20mb) is worse than watching paint dry.

Even the £24.99 NTL option is slower then compared to ADSL. Why do NTL lag over ADSL providers like that? Is it something to do with their technology or is it NTL just being NTL?

Yes, it could be fair to say that if I am serious about uploading video files I should be on their £34.99 per month service, but that is a lot to shell out every month. Maybe NTL will do catch up soon?

Are there any plans in the pipeline for NTL to do speed upgrades for customers on their existing package prices? If people are paying £34.99 for the 10MB service then I doubt it.
