[quote=James Henry]With all due as speeds go up you will get max performance less and less. You were never sold a guaranteed 10Mbit service and will never be sold a guaranteed service from any provider without paying megabucks for it.

You only 'thought' you signed up for 10Mbit, no degredation was done at any point.

Actually I think you'll find that the original send up of the speed upgrades was for full 10MB. At no point did they ever mention *upto*. Well... not until this year that is, when they realised that they haven't got the infrastructure to cope with it all. That coupled with the fact that all they seem to be doing is spending vast amounts of money (which they don't have) on these stupid bl**dy mergers!!!
NTL haven't learnt there lesson from the last time, when they nearly went TU it seems!!!

NTL have a major market share here, but if they don't back it up. They'll soon start to see that market eaten away. Especially when you can get the same sort of service, but more stable from other ISP's... Remember, it's only *upto* 10MB, the other services maybe only upto 8MB, but they are hitting the higher speeds more often, and more realiably than NTL. With this latest episode (traffic-shaping) NTL are turning into a big joke!!!
