Hi, I'm posting in the hope some users could give me their personal opinions on my situation.

I currently have an "upto 8mbps" ADSL service however I need to change ISP due to them imposing monthly data transfer limits. I've been looking around at other ADSL providers as well as cable (I'm in an NTL area).

At the moment NTL seem to offer the most attractive package - a 10Mbps service which as of 1st June would be unlimited/uncapped (this is something I require from my connection). I've been reading other users posts about poor download speeds, I'd be hoping for at least 8Mbps at all times of the day if not right up to 9-10Mbps. Is it worth entering the 12 month contract with them? I've also noticed they plan on making their minimum package 10Mbps, does this mean if I'm using their 'highest' package as it stands now, I would be upgraded to whatever that may be or given the option to downgrade to a cheaper equivilant?

Any response would be greatly appreciated, I understand this isn't NTL sales but the opinion of someone who's not employed to sell their product would be especially useful.
