Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
Is the extra 1mb worth £13 pounds a month?
It maybe worthwhile if it was a 4mb service.
Im downgrading to the 2mb service, what about you?

Re: Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
I'm upgrading to 2mb (from 750k), thanks, but that wasn't an option in the poll... 
Maybe that could be added as an option? Or just "I'm not on 1.5/3mb to start with"?

Re: Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
If you look at Telewest's website:
http://www.telewest.co.uk/websales/service.do?id=2
...there are 4 available tiers. 256k, 1meg, 2meg and 4meg.
I think that if the ntl network takes the current upgrades and doesn't fall apart because of the additional load then we will see the 3meg tier moving to 4meg (which is what Telewest did iirc).
Phil.

Re: Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
I am stopping on 3mb. I'm a speed junkie. I'll always take the highest speed available, even if I don't really need it, because the internet is a priority for me.
Some people buy fast cars when they don't really need them, I buy fast internet connections. And they're a damn site cheaper than cars.

Re: Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
Im a speed junkie too, but Not enough places really serve me that fast.
If I had a bigger cap on the top tier i'd probably stay but as it is the same, I might as well downgrade.

Re: Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
This poll needs restarting and the option for the 750k/2mb customers to vote. as it is if you have upgraded to 2mb you are voting no and making the poll look wrong. I have voted no but it no looks like most are not downgrading when infact therre may be more people downgrading to 2mb than those staying on the 3mb.
750K moved to 2mb happy with the increase speed dont need 3mb but know plenty who do.

Re: Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
It doesn't really matter what 2mbit people are doing, to me the point of the thread seems to be whether people think NTL has made the 3mbit service redundant.

Re: Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
I've been happy with 750k (it's the email that's always bugged me!). I'm getting the 2mb upgrade automatically today or tomorrow. I'll see what difference it makes but for me the question might be whether to downgrade from 2Mb to the new capped 1MB and save myself £84 a year. I gather there's a link on ntlworld somewhere that tells you how much you download. Is that true?

Re: Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
Heh indeed mb, If only the 13 quid premium resulted in a double of that cap, it would make people think twice about downgrading, but Im sticking anyway :P

Re: Are You/Will You be "Downgrading" From 3mb to 2mb
I am staying on the 3meg service as well. From what i hear NTL aren't introducing any caps for the 2meg and 3meg until later in the year but are still using the guidelines. The 1meg tier will be capped enforced from what i hear.
