Re: New Speeds - June 1st

Ok maybe my "up to 50 meg" comment was a bit over the top. But surely something should be in place to make sure there is a minimum service that should be provided? I don't think expecting 50-60% of the advertised speed is too much to ask? but I didn't even get that. I was getting "up to 4 megs" which is the next tier down speed wise now. Isn't that when it DOES become false advertising?

It's all well and good saying lifes a bitch. But why should someone paying for a 10 meg service only get around 2 meg while someone in another city gets the full whack of 10 meg?

That's not life being a bitch. That's NTL not having a decent infrastructure in place and so provide whatever crappy speeds they can get away with - safe in the knowledge that it's advertised as "up to". Not good enough I'm afraid.

They should be wanting to provide me with 10megs and keep my £35. NOT, be happy for me to downgrade and instead get £25 off me.
