Re: ntl Confirms 10MB Broadband Speed Increase
I'm worried about the unlimited download charges. How expensive will they be

Re: ntl Confirms 10MB Broadband Speed Increase
Can anyone techy hazard a guess at what the uploads will be? What would be required to make a 10mb pipe work? orm could they do it without increasing the upload?

Re: ntl Confirms 10MB Broadband Speed Increase
Just wondering, do you think it will be a secret increase like the last one? 
If it hadn't been for the "Bloke in the Pub" letting the cat out of the bag I could have easily missed a few weeks of 3Mb.

If there is an unlimited option (all guesswork at the moment) then surely there is no download charges (other than the set monthly fee) ?
I'd hope things stay as they are now - those on the top 3 meg tier can occasionally go over the top with no penalty.

Re: ntl Confirms 10MB Broadband Speed Increase
A faster connection will not encourage me to download more at all, so what's the problem? I'll just appreciate quicker download and online gaming responses.

Well, we carried news of the 3 Meg upgrade, and it certainly wasn't from the bloke in the pub.... It was from NTL themselves..

True but if I hadn't have been an active CFer I wouldn't have known, wouldn't have called NTL, wouldn't have got my upgrade there and then instead of weeks/months later. So thanks for that
I can't see anything bad to say about this move, assuming there is no degradation of reliability as a result (my email can still be a bit iffy). I'm coming around to the fact that NTL is getting its act together. Which is nice.

Probably the finer points still have to be decided, shareholders won't be interested in those, all they will see is Simon Duffy waving the 10Mb/s flag at todays meeting.
They did say they would have something for everyone, ntl isn't just for Christmas you know, although I keep looking out to see if it's snowing.
Happy days are here again, come on everyone join in.
News item:
Tony Blair is to stand down to make way for ........... Simon Duffy.

Yeh but the "Bloke in the Pub" was the only source with the date spot on. He must be Simon Duffy, probably seeing how the other half live, and Oldham's the place for that

Re: ntl Confirms 10MB Broadband Speed Increase
so increase to 10meg but lower cap ratio - unless you are going for more expensive uncapped (unconfirmed) tier?
3meg=30gig
10meg=75gig when is should be nearer 100gig?
not that i'm too bothered anyway, but just wondering why such a low cap (if implemented)

But surely the ratio doesn't enter into it seeing as it's a free upgrade.
So long as we get more of everything for nothing we have to be on a winner.
At least new customers won't get first bite of the apple this time, or will they?
