This is one question i have never seen a really satifactory answer too.
Come to that they also offer 4mb unlimited for £19.99 for the fist 3 months then i think it goes to £25

go have a look at how overloaded the telewest network is then and people not getting good speeds

Well I am a teacher and I would support most of what Iggy said about the need for clear,well spelt,grammatically correct and hopefully well punctuated written,typed or spoken english, although I would perhaps, have put it more diplomatically.

If you want to communicate information to another you do need to apply all of the above.If you don't then you are in danger of causing confusion and with passing on technical info to a rube like me you do need to leave out the technical jargon and the acronyms.If you are too lazy to do so then all you do is make me pass over what maybe excellent advice because I cannot be bothered to try and decipher what you have typed.

You also in speaking need to leave out idiomatic english IF you want to communicate to another who doesn't speak that particular idiom.It also helps to leave out the patois as well.Rapping is all well and good in the right place but frankly it baffles me.

D’you know sometimes you have to giggle at Ntl CS. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy with my service. I’m on 10 meg and absolutely love the speed but can’t really justify the cost for a 10gig capped service when I can get unlimited 2 meg for less dosh.

Yes, I thought about ADSL and even had BT run tests but I live a fair distance from a BT exchange so ADSL was never really going to be an option with 512 at best. But I can honestly say the Ntl broadband service has been superb in recent months (a happy customer - perhaps they should have me stuffed J).

A few minutes ago I called CS to ask when the 2 meg unlimited service would be available. The guy was very cheerful and helpful but had no idea what I was talking about and went off to get some info. Within 30 seconds he was back on the line to say he didn’t know anything, it’s sometime next year and how would I like half price broadband for 3 months to stay on the higher tier?! Unbelievable. I didn’t ask for discount, I simply enquired about the move to 2 meg and when is unlimited starting. So, not to look a gift-horse in the mouth I gratefully accepted and wished him well for the holidays!

So I’ve had my upgrade, I have stable speeds, Ntl are answering my prayers for unlimited AND I get it all for a low price.

Happy Christmas Ntl – you’re the best!


EDIT: yes, yes I see the error - obviously so happy with Ntl I got capped to 10 gig!
Should read 75gig or 10 meg - you choose....

I agree. Have some rep for pointing this sort of thing out!

Back on topic: So can we download as much as we want now without our souls being burned alive by NTL or do we still have to wait until January? Someone earlier said he'd called NTL and they said the cap was lifted already. Anyone else clarify that? And where's my email from NTL?

[BBDL]

That was me and I'm holding them to it.

I doubt its a case of 'lifting' the cap and more a case of just carrying on business as usual.

[grubbymitts]

just got my email! WOO! And Powerusenet have just upped their retention! DOUBLE WOO!

[LenMackin]

Well if the cap is lifted then I stay with the 10meg service. I was going to move down to 2meg at the end of this month.
