It looks as though the upload speeds have not changed since I was on the ntl middle internet rate of 750 k/B, last year. I had to go 'down' to the lowest rate which went up to 1MB because I still have a PACE set-top box.

Ntl gave me a refund when they discovered it and reduced my payment by ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£7.00 a month so that was OK apart from what was a drop in upload speed.

I'm thinking of going back to the middle rate but it will mean the hassle of getting the box changed. There doesn't seem much to be gained in terms of upload speed and the 1MB seems OK for everything else.

I'm not a physicist so I don't understand why the speed of the internet connection can get faster but the upload speed stays the same. Relatively speaking the upload speed seems to have gone down.

Some people who are uploading to me have amazing speeds, ten times as much,it seems to me.Are they with other companies or what ?
