Just because you are pleased with the news, doesn't mean everyone has to share your opinion.

to be honest though i am suprised about the amount of negative reaction when we still only know half the story seems strange thats all, as on the face of it, it will benefit alot of users

Re: [Now Official] More ntl speed changes

I'd also question wether discussion of the cap is off topic in this thread due to that fact that Caps appear to be a significant part (for some) of the new speeds.

To be honest, caps are the only thing that can be talked about. If all that NTL was doing was increase speeds for the same price there would only need to be an announcement and a number of "well done NTL" posts. Although there would probably be a few members that would consider they were being hard done to if the new speeds were completely uncapped.

Re: [Now Official] More ntl speed changes

On a different note (to my recent kill the cap posts) for users troubled by the £25 fee. I'd expect that for 750K STB users a box swap out will be needed unless you already have a Samsung box?

Nice spot. I have my original Pace 1000 box taht I got in January 2000 and would be loathe to loose it - but there you go.

I suspect you are right and thats why ntl are charging a blanket £25 - as a shed load of people with STBs will need the new Samsung.
