Re: Unlimited downloads from January?

I'd imagine they'll be pretty lenient on 10mbit users, as long as they don't take the **** too much

Re: Unlimited downloads from January?

It appears that there could be 4 tiers available from looking at the 4 index pages and their links:

512k @ £14.99 with a 1 Gb per month usage allowance.
up to 1 Mb @ £17.99 unlimited
up to 2 Mb @ £24.99 unlimited
up to 10 Mb with a 75 Gb per month usage allowance

Re: Unlimited downloads from January?

I've said all along I'd be happy with uncapped 2mbit. Maybe someone at NTL does listen :p

Re: Unlimited downloads from January?

I have to admit after having 10mbit for a month there is a lot of fun to be had out there with it, but in reality I just have no need for it. I'm sure that will change once HD is a bit more widespread though.

Re: Unlimited downloads from January?

With them offering 2mb for 24.99, does that not open the way for 3mb @ 34/7.99? Or is it just the basic fact that the network (or any network for that matter) can't handle 3mb unlimited?

Re: Unlimited downloads from January?

Here is the full e-mail. I got it and I am on 1MB temporarily from 300kb.
I have opted out of the 1MB 3gb cap upgrade.

I didn't realise Broadband Plus had gone free for 2mb and above customers, doesn't seem to have been publicised at all, just been and registered and indeed it is free for me now, fantastic well done ntl
