2mb Upgrade to 10mb

dan_uk1 · 26-12-2005, 13:52

Hi,

I was just wondering when the 2mb tier which i'm currently on in the Leicetser area will be upgraded to 10mb, does anyone know the date? I was also wondering if I ring up NTL saying I'm considering changing ISP's to UkOnline and there 22mb service would they value me as a customer and upgrade me to the 10mb now?

Thanks Dan

Sometime in 2006 is the only timeline we have. I would expect it to be in early 2006, but this is just speculation atm.

I heard there was to be no move for users on 1/2mb all we was going to get was the cap removed?

There is nothing to support that - the two things are not related.

Erm what exactly

Where in that article does it say the 1 & 2 meg upgrade plans are no more ?

As far as we know, users on those tiers will have a choice, stay on their current speed, with no cap - or upgrade to 10 meg with a cap (3 gig or 30 gig I believe).

Ahhh I see now Paul M looks like I mis-read the article.

So if we are given the choice as is I use a Ambit modem? would I have to pay to increase my speed or would I be given the choice for free?

looks like your choice will be 'uncapped' but the current speeds or 'capped' but with 10meg - at some point during 2006.

Ahh well I am moving to 10mb that isn't the question once things are sorted in 2006, but will there be a cost to move upto 10mb in 2006 when offered to the 2mb users?

Or will it be free to remain on 2mb and uncapped or a upgrade charge to the 10mb tier with a cap.

Going of the top point i would imagine a free upgrade as its a handicapped tariff with the cap.

upgrade to 10meg is free from Jan 2006 2meg has unlimeted usage 10 meg has 70gig a month

AndrewJ · 27-12-2005, 14:35

Well that would suit me as I generally only average about 25gig per month right now ( gotta love relatives moving uk... )

10mb should make a lovely difference, however what will my upload be I heard 512k is the norm so it seems, but is this gonna change for 2mb or does no-one know yet?

(buzzing at idea of 10mb...)

dan_uk1 · 27-12-2005, 14:53

Yea 10mb would be awesome as I do alot of online gaming can't wait as for once I'll finally be able to host a decent size room :-)

AndrewJ · 27-12-2005, 14:55

If I recall correctly it may help but part of it is also down to the computer aswell

dan_uk1 · 27-12-2005, 14:59

Yea but I play on the xbox live service so all that counts is the connection speed. Just hope they upgrade us 2mb tier people soon.
