It's not available yet, so no one knows.

Re: Opt out emails

Thank for the reply guys.

I think it's a bit daft that the only way NTL are letting customers know about this opt out thing is via their NTL World email accounts. If it wasn't for my mate letting me know about the email he had received, I would be none the wiser as I NEVER check my NTL email account. I bet there are a few others in the same boat too.

Are there going to be any plans to send a letter out to customers as well as this email?

As for the caps, as far as I'm aware, at the moment there was no limit on 300k users but once everyone is upgraded, the 30gb limits will be imposed.

Again, thanks for the replies, I feel slightly better now, will just have to keep waiting!

Re: Opt out emails

thanx for the reply paul

just i dont want to opt for it then find it cost to much if i want to download more than they allow , what ever that may be, surely if they are sending e mails to people they would know what the usage is going to cost for downloading, but then am i right in thinking we will not get the mb untill after christmas ?

<edit> to be fair the opt out option seems ok
I'm not entirely sure what I meant to be honest, but at the same time I did makes sense doesn't it? :lol: Theres that many emails flying around (internal) that you don't know what the speeds and allowances are anymore!!

and yes, the opt out option seems ok to me too. But we're bond to get one customer who "never got the flyer or email" who will complain to high heaven and get 3 months discount!

3Mb customers will be the first to get the upgrade hopfully end of this year/begining of next. All depends on the network status etc.

Re: Opt out emails

If you elect to stay on 300k then you can upgrade to any other speed whenever you like. Once you do leave 300k there is no going back to it.

Re: Opt out emails

The 300k tariff is discontinued for new customers or returning to - a bit like some special mobile phone tariffs from earlier.

Better get my optout in!

Me too, I am very happy with my 2Mb service, at the moment - when I need to download, say, an update for Nero, it goes fast enough.

I don't tend to use p2p, stream radio or get more than ebooks from newsgroups, though, so my useage is pretty low (well apart from the huge percentage of the bandwidth, I use on here ).

- so I hope there is a similar 'opt out' as per the 300kb to 1Mb upgrades

Question Re: Opt out emails

When I filled out the Opt-out form it said I'd be upgraded to 1meg in October, then downgraded a month or two later to 300k. But I thought I'd read on here that it wasn't possible to change back to 300k because the config data that had to be sent to the modem wasn't available or something.
