Just shocking really... that there's still no word on major hardware updates that are so needed for NTL's network.

*Sigh* 
So have any of the ADSL providers introduced capping or traffic shaping? How about other Isps in other parts of the world?
At the end of the day you cannot expect Ntl or Telewest to throw huge amounts of money at their networks to ensure everyone can download vast amounts of data, chat for hours on Voip calls and stream enough video to make you go blind.
Like it or not Ntl/Telewest are NOT specialist Isps who will provide a clean, uninterrupted internet feed. They are mass-market providers and they will react to what they feel the majority wants. If that involves shaping traffic to reduce P2P to a trickle then that's what they will do. |
Yes other providers do it and they admit to it. So have NTL admitted to any of this or will they admit to any of this. At the end of the day i pay at the moment to NTL £24.99 for a unlimited connection "check
here for ntl advert on there website" No where does it say Unlimited connection but we traffic shape. How can a traffic shaped service designed to limit you download capability be a unlimited service ? or am i missing some great NTL logic here ?
