You mean that they will have one set of 1mb customers cap free and another set with a cap (well at least until the 10mb increase comes in anyway)?

Well if you remember they said they will offer usage free speeds....maybe 1mb will be the slowest usage free speed? for 17.99?? Im just guessing so dont think that is what is actually going to happen lol

I have had the ntl email a while back informing me that they were upgrading me to 1mb and in the email it stated -

"To enable us to offer this super-fast service for the same price, we will be introducing a usage allowance of 3GB per month"

Also there is an opt out to stay with 300k and 30gb, which i chose to do.

jtwn · 29-09-2005, 22:13

Yes but that was then, this is now.

It looks like 'opting out' is no more as it does say they are going to automatically upgrade all 300k customers.

Matth · 29-09-2005, 22:21

It seems the optout site can still be reached
http://www.ntlworld.com/microsites/optout/

Must dig out the billing id tomorrow and DO IT!
I'd have vacillated over the originally reported/rumoured 5Gb cap, but 3Gb is just too close for comfort.

jtwn · 29-09-2005, 22:44

Ah/bah. Look how many apps you can download!! One!!!

Well there it is.

I remember a bit back they said current 300k customers could upgrade to 1mb but there was an admin charge. I never bothered ringing up so now they can do it anyway for no extra charge. LOL

I think (hope) that they are going to automatically upgrade all 300k users who don't opt out.

And even if you do opt out, it is stated during the process that you will be upgraded briefly before being returned to 300k - to give you a taster of 1mb.

I have experienced this. I opted out a few days ago and have since been upgraded to 1mb! Does this mean I'm going to be capped for the period of time I've been upgraded?!

I don't want the capped service!

jono_h · 30-09-2005, 14:46

Pete,

The screenshots that I took (just in case!) during the opt-out process state the 'trial' upgrade will be subject to your usual usage limits. So I would expect to get 1MB speed at 300k cap for a brief period before they return you to 300k.
That is my understanding from the information given during opt-out - who knows what will happen in real life!
