Hi I just downgraded from 2MB to 1MB

Hi I just downgraded from 2MB to 1MB because I donââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t download much at all and browsing and game play seems the same. Its £7 saved for something I didnââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t use.

Anyway the modem reset itself and I take it these new settings are correct?

Maximum Downstream Data Rate : 1024000 bps
Maximum Upstream Data Rate : 100000 bps

thanks
Sav.

I did the same. At first we had 2 meg BB from ntl and tv and phone were sky - that was 24.99/mo.
Now were on all 3 for £33 which is pretty good, gaming is fine on 1 meg, I thought it would be laggy due to upload being onlt 10k but its fine (CSS)

Are you nearing the end of your contract? Cause I think I am for broadband (not 100% sure) but not for TV and phone. Is there a 12 month contract for phone? Cause if there isnt I might call to cancel, see what happens.

Re: Hi I just downgraded from 2MB to 1MB

Slightly off topic sorry, but I also rang CS, moaning that as I now use VOIP for telephone calls, I wanted to cancel the phone, knowing that it's part of the TV package.
I was told I couldn't, so I suggested that I will cancel phone and TV. They didn't want me to do that, (I also didn't want to do that!), and so as a result I now get £10.50 monthly reduction on my TV package, basically the phone line rental, and still keep the phone.

If they can do it for one customer they should do it for all.

What a coyboy outfit Ntl are.
