From what I can gather the people who have got warning letters are having their connection monitored for a month before NTL take any action.

Ultimately, this will depend on upon the degree to which they modify their behaviour.
This sounds to me as if new unlimited speeds will be available before anyone is booted off.

With a bit of luck it will be a 56k download,that way it will take a lot longer than a month to go over the 30 gig cap LOL.

Pry tell who has been booted. If anyone has been booted its news to me. Users have been warned that there connection will be monitored. But i know of not one user that has been booted. Please correct me if i am wrong.

PS

M8 down the pub saying someone has been booted does not count

Tbh- I think they'd have to if they want people downloading at 10mb, concidering I use a good 15k/sec upload just when i'm downloading at 250k/sec. Not sure why but thats how it works here

Correct me if im wrong, but *sniff* .. dont be too harsh
So 3Mb (250k) requires 15k/sec.
10Mb > say a bit more than 2 times more > 50k. Well within the 250k.

I'm not so sure - Telewest's 10meg announcement has confirmed upload speed remains at 384k (or are you saying it needs to be raised from 256k... I'm not sure what NTL 3meg upload is).

I hold out eternal hope for a decent upload speed... and no, not for illegal d/l.
NTLs upload on 3M is 300k - so they may up it a little to 384, or may just leave it.

you never know, they might follow the current scheme :

1M/100k
2M/200k
3M/300k
.
.
10M/1000k (yeah right )

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
I am going by what the new style letters say NTL have sent out, effectively gave users 2 choices drop usage or go elsewhere.

They're probably just getting rid of the biggest offenders before they offer a truely unlimited product.

You said booted off meaning they have already done it. So who has been booted. Simple answer not a politicians answer.

Planned maintenance appears to have gone very quiet, does that mean it's all ready for Monday, or what?
