Re: [Now Official] More ntl speed changes
All the news about the speed upgrades is great.... it sounds like NTL is actually being sensible for a change 
Now if they do bring in the caps as mentioned why dont they also add extra tiers for BIG downloaders.....
300K 1MB †“ £17.99. (5GB* usage) + £5 for unlimited usage
750K 2MB †“ £24.99. (30GB* usage) + £7.50 for unlimited usage
1.5MB 3MB †“ £37.99. (40GB* usage) + £10 for unlimited usage
As I have said before I'm more than willing to pay extra money for extra usage. Why not even charge a little more for more upload too!!!
Give poeple more choice for more money and poeple will either choose to pay it or not!! And I for one will pay!!!
How about 8mb/1mb for £75!! gimme gimme!!!

But NTL are not alone with there caps, and they are by no means the worst. I could live with 40 gig

Will you change tier with extra speed?
With speeds being at least doubled next year will you stay on the same tier as you are now on or change to another tier?
It would also be interesting to know how your internet usage may change, if indeed it does, when you get this extra speed.

Re: Will you change tier with extra speed?
Yes ... or I would if I wasn't moving house off the network  Sorry to keep banging on about it, but I'm really going to miss my BB, and now I'm going to miss it more than ever!
I would also pay the £25 if necessary, but I don't believe in paying for things if you can get them legally for free, so I'd have a look at a swift downgrade/upgrade if that's what I had to do to avoid the charge.

Re: Will you change tier with extra speed?
hmm I'd like to just stay on 750k with a 1gb a day limit. I would have clicked downgrade to 1mb from 750k but the 5gb a month limit is too low and I'd go over that, so I'd have to go with 2mb which I don't need. So I'm gonna have to pay £25 to stay with a usage restriction that I currently have. So much for this being an improvement.

My thoughts exactly. For a lot of people on 750 this is not much of an improvement. But then again, I'm on Telewest 750k, so I'll have to wait an seen what they do...

You must be joking  . 750k to 2Mb is not much of an improvement? Words fail me.

Poor Martyn was so happy he Miss-Typed the email 
300K 1MB †“ £17.99. (5GB* monthly usage allowance)
750K 2MB †“ £24.99. (30GB* monthly usage allowance)
1.5MB 3MB †“ £37.99. (40GB* monthly usage allowance)
GREAT News... I was on 64kb (free upgrade to 150) then went for 600kb (free upgrade to 750kb) Now to 2MB
Not sure on the CAP (NO not another long winded thread) lol... Just waiting to see MORE info... What if we GO over & will NTL issue us with a FREE Traffic Monitor? I use my DU Meter (but others dont)
Some days I get 300MB & others (Joey day & stuff) lol I get 1.1GB (NOT like some who want UNRESTRICTED bandwidth for £5 extra) lol Imagine those who download 6GB a day...  We need a better limit 4 honest on Demand usrrs & one for others

I'm not picking holes. I am happy with with 750k, and wouldn't upgrade to 2mb if it weren't for the cap. In a way, I'm forced to upgrade/'stay at 2 meg', at a (one-off) cost of £25. If it wouldn't cost me £25 I'd have no problem with it though
